Outlets near the bed are awkward to reach (near the floor) but there is a nice power strip on the desk. Chain pull to control fan was not working, so I had to turn the light/fan off to turn off the fan."

"Overall pretty good experience here. The room was clean and overall pretty nice. Ammenity-wise the hotel didn't have ton to offer (or the staff didn't mention it, anyway), but the attached restaurant was good. The elevator was maybe the smallest passenger elevator I've ever been on- 3 of us without any bags or suitcases couldn't stand in it without rubbing elbows. They could also benefit from security that some of the other hotels have- there was no one manning the door and no swipe access needed to get upstairs via stairs or elevators."
