We will not be staying here again. It was a very bad experience and a complete waste of money. Very disappointing
Pros:

The bathroom/shower was a nice size

Cons:

We made a last minute reservation and the staff member on the desk when we checked in was rather rude. We must have been given the worst room that people never book. It was small with no windows and no ventilation. Myself and my partner didn’t sleep all night. My partner was coughing all night and I was awake all night with a headache. The bathroom lock didn’t lock.
