Robert

Disliked: Amenities
The only good thing was the staff. When you need to have a fan blowing to cool the room in springtime, I pity the poor summer travelers. Never mind the noise. Worse night non sleep I had on vacation. Then the door to the bathroom needed to be closed so the exhaust fan didn’t run and again make noise. Not happy with room
