great location complimentary snacks difficult shower slamming door

the location was amazing. i easily walked to many attractions (that was important to me!). the complimentary snacks and drinks in the room were a nice touch. (i always appreciate these little extras).

i found operating the shower controls quite difficult. it seemed unsafe, especially for older guests. the room doors slammed loudly, which woke me up several times during the night (this needs some attention!).
