useful fridge room key oversized vehicles loud ac unit shower leak poor view

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.

The room included a microwave and mini fridge! The heater provided adequate warmth and the room layout was functional. The key card was necessary to access each floor, which enhanced my feeling of safety!

The gym was not thoroughly cleaned. There was some visible dust on the equipment.
