The staff was very accommodating. I appreciated that they prepared a breakfast tray for me since I had to leave early for the airport. My room was nice and included tea, coffee, and two bottles of water. (The coffee was a lifesaver!)

The shower did not work very well. The shower head kept falling down, quite annoying. I noticed lots of broken tiles on the bathroom floor. A sticky residue was near the door, which I found unpleasant.
