convenient location elegant bathroom sluggish shower drain issue
The location is excellent. i found it very convenient, close to many key attractions. my room was comfortable and well-designed. the bathroom was also elegant. i liked the electric outlet by the mirror in the bedroom. It was a thoughtful touch.
my stay had a couple issues. there was a sluggish shower drain, a detail i did not expect at this level. i was told nothing could be done, and i showered with water above my ankles. it was not ideal.
