Not good.
Pros:

Big tv

Cons:

Air conditioner leaked water. I noticed when I went to adjust temp. Walked in water.
Night shift desk person said they would look into it next day. I asked for towels to put down.
Slept in damp environment and started sneezing when I woke up.
Also top bed sheet had holes in it. Like cigarette burn holes
