Nice food bar, some rooms, gym, shower The item I used was broken and poured out water. The prices for items on the mini bar wre unreasonably high and made the Hotel look like it was trying to gouge customers, especially since there was not a visible price list for items on top of the mini bar (which are usually free-$7 for a 3 oz pack of gummie bears or crackers).
