No TV, when I went to complain at the front desk worker didn't seem to care. I asked for him to call manager because she was not on duty and no manager called. They were painting on the second floor and that's all you could smell, and it caused a headache all night. I was told I'd get a discount, so let's see if this happens. Will not stay there ever again. When we arrived there was no lights/ power once it did come on it took an hour before we could check in due to computer issues.

Room was perfect, it is near the street that is kind of busy. Depending on what side of building you are in you may hear all of the street sounds. But overall stay I would use them again.
