Review:
This hotel is doing some things to help the environment, but it needs to take care of its own environment too. My room was musty smelling, concerning me about air quality in the room. The hotel and much of its furnishings are tired, some things more worn than others. So while my carpet was showing traffic patterns, I had a wonderful plasma screen TV on my dresser.

I hate styrofoam so was kept from making my own coffee because there weren\'t durable coffee cup alternatives. Along that same line of anti-environmental action they lined their wastebaskets with plastic bags and had plastic curtain liners.

There were no compact fluorescent light bulbs in any of my lamps; what a waste of energy!

I\'d love to see this jewel polish itself and improve on its environmental actions.
