I requested a Handicap room .I got a room with a bar in the shower. Toilet was to low to the ground and very hard to get off and on for a Handicap person point of view. No handles around the toilet. No seat or hand held showet attachment in shower, so I could not take a shower.

On the road again!
The room was decent, with a comfortable bed. The bathroom sink was slow to drain and cold water flow from the faucet was minimal. Also, the room heater temp-control doesn't function correctly - I had it down to 62 and it kept cycling on no matter the setting. These are all minor items, but yet somewhat annoying...

Due to a nearby fire, water towers were drained to put it out. The staff was very quick to apologize and explain why the water was discolored. The breakfast was great. One of the perks of the hotel was a courtesy shuttle. However, it was not running on our night which was disappointing.

Musty smelling hotel upon entering the front door all the way to the room. Uncomfortable beds. Dirty shower curtain. Noisy toilet when filling up after each flush. Very weak water pressure. Strobing bathroom lights. Rusty light fixtures. Ceiling stains. Non-caring front desk staff.

The breakfast was excellent. The floors were dirty, garbage receptical in front of entrance was overflowing at noon when we arrived and worse the next day, the bathroom door had been replaced with an ill fitting door with hinge recesses cobbled to work but very unprofessional and the elevator looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. Not good!
