The hotel could do a better job putting toilet paper in the room. Had to retrieve it in the lobby which doesn't seem right on some level. A coffee pot in the room with coffee would have been a nice touch. Excellent staff, clean room, room layout and entrance to the hotel nice. Safety deposit box a good thing.
