The beds were comfortable. Access to the CBD was easy. I was able to easily walk to dining and entertainment options. The staff was helpful. They quickly addressed my needs..
The bathroom design felt dated. The shower temperature was difficult to adjust. I spent too much time trying to get the temperature right. I would have liked a more modern shower head.
