Waverly, 7 mi from Potter Park Zoo

"The room was very nice overall, nice chairs, table for luggage, nice desk, very comfortable bed. ISSUES: No hair dryer, no towel racks, bathroom door hook was installed way too high/at the top of the door, the sink would barely/only slowly drain which was gross, (thank you for the Kleenexes and lots of towels). At check-in, they should inform you how to get to the back parking lot and this lot needs to be re-paved."
