Our room was a double queen. Had a small closet and zero drawers for clothes. I chose this hotel because it advertised EV chargers. I called ahead to confirm they were operational. When we arrived, only 1 of the 4 was working but it was for a Tesla, which our car is not. Not one of 4 staff members we asked knew anything about the chargers. Heat wasn't working the first day. Windows had no insulation and water puddled on the sills. Makeup mirror in bathroom was installed ridiculously low, requiring you to bend over to use.

Room size and bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Only negatives were the tv was not a smart tv. So limited viewing options. And the $25 a day mandatory amenities fee is steep if you are not using the amenities.
