Everything was clean and comfortable. Only nits, were 2 of 3 light bulbs in the bedroom ceiling fan were not screwed in until I screwed them in to get more light. Also left side of bathroom sink was shaking on its support, but not unexpectable in a hotel this old. However, it should be fixed. Room 727. Staff was most helpful in check in and check out. My also need to get more recycling receptacles in rooms or elsewhere.
