"Large room, clean, but much wasted space. Open entrance in room had no furniture, could have used a table and chairs. Bathroom provided scant room for makeup and accessories. There was room for shelves, but none were provided. Sink faucet was placed too close to back of sink which made it awkward to use. Did not provide small necessities such as shower cap, magnifying mirror, etc. often found in other hotels. Liked microwave, coffee/tea provisions. Could have used small reading light over bed and nightlight in bathroom. Staff was friendly and some, not all, were very helpful. Excellent downtown location. I would probably visited again when going to Saint Petersburg."
