My room was clean , and i appreciated the basic toiletries that were provided as well as a hairdryer. the beds were super comfortable . I slept like a log after my long travels.

the shower had some issues , there was poor water pressure , and the water temperature was only lukewarm. i also noted the shower control knob seemed damaged , which hopefully can be addressed soon.
