TV could not be seen unless room totally dark. Front desk didn't seem to care about anything. No note pad in room. Sold frozen dinners in lobby but no microvwave in room. Lesser hotels provide them. Beds really low to floor and mattress sinks you even lower. Makes it really difficult for handicap people to get out.
