the room was so very clean. i loved the strong AC, it made things so comfortable. location was very great. even the standard full bed room had plenty of space, it seemed like a cozy haven. adrian, rose, and jojo made it possible for me to check in during the morning!
i found it odd that no hand soap was provided.

coffee podsweak pressure
I found some aspects of my stay disappointing. The in-room coffee machine only had two pods provided for an eight-night stay. Milk was not available either, which I found odd for a hotel of this supposed caliber. The shower pressure was also very weak, barely more than a trickle. This made showering quite unsatisfying.
