Room was very good, staff was friendly, and the stay, in general, was very good. We did have issues with doors: the room door did not unlock easily and required two or three tries. Also the bathroom door would not completely close or lock. Room 101.

It was a good stay. The drawers smelled like mold so we didn’t utilize that, but everything else was good.
