While I understand it was a busy week for the hotel, I was disappointed that my room wasn't ready until nearly 8:00 PM. Additionally, there were significant maintenance issues: the toilet water supply was non-functional, and the shower pan was incorrectly curved, causing water to pool rather than drain properly.

The room isn’t the best & the bathroom wasn’t cleaned well. There was other peoples hair all over the floor, sticking to my socks & hair on the walls & stuff. I used my flip flops to shower. The staff is friendly & I’d come back. Is better than nothing. Not a bad layout of a room.
