Our stay had some shortcomings, unfortunately. i found some dirty, brown runners at the foot of the beds. They even had liquid stains underneath them. i told the manager over the phone a few days later. he seemed unfazed, made me a little sad. the tvs in the rooms could use an upgrade too, i THINK.
