Mixed Feelings About This Stay
low temperature unexpected charge
The location was acceptable for accessing public transportation.
The air conditioning in the room was set to an low temperature when I arrived late. It took all night for the room to warm up to a normal level, which wasn't ideal. The keys had to get reprogrammed following my first night, this caused a delay.

The bedding in my Superior King Room was comfy enough.
The bathroom was small, it was not a good experience. The shower didn't drain and the toilet flushed with difficulty sometimes. I found it a bit annoying.
