Clean room. Close to everything downtown within walking distance. I was unaware that staff doesn’t bring you a luggage cart if requested to your room. I wasn’t feeling well and the front desk person said they normally don’t accommodate bringing one to a guest which I thought was odd. The security person brought us one and was very nice helping us with the elevator as well.
