Spartan experience
Room spartan but clean, need to provide hangers for clothes and towels. Getting towels was the most difficult ever…daily. 1st evening staff not nearly as pleasant as 2nd evening staff. No table to sit at for work or eating in room.

Breakfast food was good and the bed comfort was ok. The room smelled of musty/mold from the air conditioner unit. I think the coils need to be cleaned.
