"Clean rooms. They have two nearby locations. First we went to one location. They gave the key for the second location that was two buildings away. Overall it worked out all right. As others have noted the room was hot. We left the windows open when sleeping. The staff told the hotel does not have air conditioning. They did not turn on the heat either.
