Liked: Cleanliness
The roomm was clean but some maintenance issues need to be addressed. The lock to the room was almost impossibe to open with the key. It had to be forced. Washer replacement needed on taps in kitchen and QR for compendium did not work. These were of little consequence as we were only there for 1 night.
