Clean room. Our biggest complaint was the carpet that was waaaay beyond the time it should have been replaced and was probably the source of the room smelling like stale cigarettes. Other than that the room was decent and clean. USB ports beside the bed would help bring the room into the 21st century and better lighting would be nice too.
