The room is perfect. The queen bed room is the best value for the single traveler. The only problem is having a problem to adjust the hot water in the sink.

No, the room wasn't spotless. One of the ottomans underneath the desk has some type of white crumbs or something on it. Other than that, the hospitality was nice.
