Shower took forever to get warm, cracked bathroom sink, strange checkin procedure. Key left in an envelope by back door but I didn’t see it at first. No reception and spent time walking around trying to figure out how to check in. Also back door not locked. Just room. Didn’t feel as secure as typical hotel.
