Adequate, but Some Issues Noted

slow shower drainlimited minibar
My experience had a few hiccups. The shower drain was quite slow. Water pooled around my feet. The room phone didn't work, so contacting reception required a trip to the lobby. I also found the minibar selection limited. I expected more variety, especially considering the price point. It was not a HUGE deal, but a bit frustrating.
