Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The location was great for restaurants, shops and walking. The faucet in the bathroom was loose and wobbly, but the staff noticed when they came in to service the room and submitted a repair ticket. The shower temperature control was finicky during a shower and variable from shower to shower.
