The staff were always ready to assist. The drop-off area looked freshly renovated. I also noticed available parking.

The air conditioning was quite loud. It was also not efficient. I found there was no cold water available. I only had access to hot and warm water. The fridge did not get cold enough. It struggled to keep my drinks chilled.
