great locationcomfortable roomfriendly staffhot room
location was great with nearby parking. i found the room warm and quite comfortable.
the room was too hot making the night uncomfortable. i asked reception for a fan but external noise was still a challenge because i had to keep the window open. next time i would like better ventilation.
