Was ok . But just imagine what I could of walked into with my room being double booked.
Pros:

Perfect for what I needed.

Cons:

Upon my arrival I find that the room I booked had been double booked but was still given the key to enter and to my surprise and the person in my room who was relaxing. it was quite unnecessary if you do your job . The only disappointment about my stay .
