Solid stay, very well situated

convenient locationblack out blindslighting settingssecure feel
The location proves very convenient. I found black out blinds useful for sleep. Various lighting settings was a plus. I liked the hotel felt secure during the nights.
The green night light proved disruptive, I could not properly cover it up and the room was not dark enough.

The room included several lighting options to adjust the ambiance. Blackout blinds were a great addition, it really helped to darken the room. There was a nice size TV mounted on the wall.
