Great, except for....

Every was lovely: nice decore, comfortable bed, great staff, very clean EXCEPT for when I arrived there was a long black hair hanging on the body wash container. I avoided it during my shower, and the next morning I let the front desk know that the shower needed to be cleaned a bit more thoroughly. I left for some business but when I returned, it was still there. The room had been attended to but the trash was not emptied and the gross hair was still there. I informed the front desk and they sent someone immediately to remedy the issue. This person was very thorough, and I definitely appreciated the quick attention.
