The property is very clean, staff friendly. Beds are not comfortable, sheets coming off the bed. The hotel is noisy due to lack of insulation I suppose, contributing to a poor night sleep before my flight. The shower walls are made of glass which is really weird if you are not rooming with someone you’re very comfortable with. The door of the bathroom is the same as the door for the shower so you either get the floor all wet bc you don’t want to leave the bathroom door open or you close the shower door and the bathroom is wide open. Very weird. The food in the restaurant was surprisingly good.
