6. The hotel was clean, recently renovated in 80s cheesiness, very comfy King bed (opt for the King room) which is still very small compared to the poorly placed and minuscule Queen rooms.

8. The only complaint I have about the room was that the shower is poorly designed and there is water -- and water damage -- all around the floor, and as a result the bathroom looks a little dirty and bare.

10. Also, the square bathroom sinks do not drain well - very hip and all that, but poorly functional at best.
