The location was convenient. The bed was indeed comfortable. The shower offered decent products.
The noise level was not great. I could hear everything in the hallway. The cleaners didn't appear to have enough time, so the walls were dirty. Ventilation was also terrible. The master bedroom felt stuffy.
