Pros (+) Vert comfy and cozy

Anonymous, Jul 2018
Pros (+) I liked the location and the size of the room.
Cons (-) Could not regulate the ac so the room was either way too cold or too hot. No ice. To drain the tub after your shower you had to lift a contraption near the tub which worked. I've just never seen anything like that before. There were stains on the carpet under the table. The 2 elevators are so small we could barely get 3 people in with our luggage. Not enough outlets.
