I found the team member very cute. i especially liked the wooden room cards. It is a nice touch. the location was great, it was easy to walk everywhere i wanted to go (the theatre was just down the block!).
the air conditioner made a wind chime sound all night. this was due to its position in relation to the chandelier.
