Disliked: Cleanliness
Bed was fine and felt clean. Bathmat was stained or not clean. Shower was very weak. Water pressure seemed fine coming out of tub or sink faucet so I think it's just a super restrictive or clogged showerhead, but very low flow. A/C worked fine and all, not a terrific area but didn't feel unsafe.

The room had a strong unpleasant odor. The clerk was behind some serious security glass, making me wonder if I was in a high crime area.
