It could have been a pleasant stay, if not for the disastrous shower experience. The water pressure was excessively high—so strong that it felt like it was cutting into my skin. Additionally, the shower door made an uncomfortable, loud noise every time it was opened or closed, which added to the discomfort.

Not quite what we were expecting

I rarely leave reviews, but I have to for this one. We got a "garden" view room. What they meant by that was that we got a view of the park across the street that had homeless people in it at night. Free "breakfast". Well, we did get free food. I'm not sure that cold potato salad, green salad (no dressing), chicken skewers, lunch meat and cheese are considered breakfast (ok, I'll give into the lunch meat and cheese). At least they had bagels, toast, yogurt, fruit and cereal. But eggs would've been nice. At least it was only for 1 night
