"The heat/cool system was right on point. Two front desk gals were very nice. Met another employee & we chatted a bit twice - again, very nice. There were a couple things re: cleanliness: microwave timer still at 2 sec left suggests the keypad wasn't cleaned - or was but not reset; TV remote's keys could use a good toothbrushing w/ a wipe; area below microwave was spattered. Nothing I couldn't live with. Decent stay overall."
