The room had a microwave and mini fridge which was useful. They have a section for oversized vehicles that was very close to the hotel. I also appreciated that the room key needed to be used to access every floor. This.

I found the AC unit loud and in poor working condition. My bathroom shower leaked through the door. The view from the windows overlooked the roof and broken alcohol bottles.
