Very clean; but dated. Shower problem not fixed.

The room was extremely clean for an older room. After the first morning, our shower in Room 231 would not shut off. We had to go somewhere, so we told the front desk. When we came back at night, the water was shut off. We did not know until the next morning that all the water to the shower/tub had been shut off!! We were never told when we returned. We were unable to take showers before we had to travel home.

No security. Front desk not staffed at night. For three nights I was able to walk in and take the elevator to the room floors. No card swipe needed. Hallway smelled only vaguely like cigarette smoke.
