The bed was super comfortable i really loved it. the shower was also great with good pressure and temperature. It worked perfectly. the location was convenient with easy access to nearby amenities i found that quite helpful. i could park very close to my room, that was really convenient.
The decor felt a bit dated. The furniture could use some updating. i found some stains on the carpet, it was noticeable and not very appealing. this was dissapointing. i had some trouble with the tv remote. It was not very responsive.
