Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was modestly attentive. Room was very small which is ok but our view was of a brick wall with plumbing (sewer?) that seemed to leak all night was a problem. But the worst thing was that there were no plastic cups or any cups in order to to take pills or brush your teeth. And they also locked us out of the room before the 11 am departure time. We had to climb the stairs to get a key extension to get into the room for our luggage and it did not work the first time. So we had to climb the steps again. Not bad really but irritating.
