Yes, the room was spotless. The room was also comfortable, and it fits the needs of the traveler. The amenities were very good, especially the laundry facilities. We enjoyed the wholesome delicious breakfast served each morning. The staff was professional, friendly, and made sure that we experience a wonderful stay at this hotel. We commend Richard who was so engaging and helpful as he showed us how to navigate the transportation systems. Let us not forget that we were greeted by the smiling face at breakfast by the beautiful Maria. She was a breath of fresh air.

I did not like the bathroom which made me feel as if my privacy was being invaded. The walls are made of opaque glass and one's silhouette could be seen in the room when taking a shower, not to mention that one could hear the water splashing against the glass wall. It was absolutely gross to be able to hear one using the bathroom because of the glass walls. A real turn off. The way the lights were wired was a problem. In my room (203) the switch (upon entering the room) controlled the lights for the whole room, bathroom included, so they were either all "on" or all "off." That was a problem when getting up in the middle of the night. The light under the sink in the bathroom was annoying because it shone through the glass wall, thus disturbing my rest. There was very little desk space for things. Worse yet, on checkout day, I went to breakfast at 6:30 a.m. on Monday, November 3, with the intention to go back to the room to get my things and check out. To my horror, I discovered that the key had been turned off. The agent at the desk (very rude and unpleasant, and upset about something) went with me to open the room, but when I got off the elevator, he didn't get off. He left me standing in the hall with no key to get into the room or get back on the elevator. He finally came back and opened the door. Overall, it was an "ok" experience. The breakfast was excellent.
