Good but not Wonderful

The hotel is very clean and the hotel staff are friendly and helpful, but the hotel itself is not that nice. The room was on the small side, some problems with the heat, toilet not working great. I would rate this hotel as Good, but definitely would not catagorize it as Wonderful, the rating given on the hotel.com site.
