The room was well-decorated, and the bed and shower were good. i think most rooms have disabled facilities. the staff gave me a space where i could meet with my customer. I am sincerely grateful. our rooms were clean and quiet.

i paid extra for a late checkout the next day, and it was confirmed. someone walked in at about 11am, though our checkout wasn't until 2pm!
