"The daytime staff were very friendly and helpful. The desk clerk on third shift seemed upset that I interrupted her nap. On previous visits my room was in good condition. Not so on this trip. One of the mattresses was so bowed that if you slept on that side,you would roll out of bed. Also, several of our electrical outlets did not work."
