Fijn hotel voor normale prijs met alles erop en eraan
Pros:

Grote kamer/studio met veel faciliteiten. Compleet ontbijt en zeer aardige medewerkers. Alles op loopafstand.

Cons:

Koelkast maakte veel lawaai en is een gigantisch ding. Geen gebruik van gemaakt en dus uitgezet.

Just ok. Needs updates. Daily $20 parking fee was unnecessary
Pros:

Breakfast was just ok. Typical free hotel breakfast.

Cons:

Need updates. Dark, no USBs and while it was clean enough, the mold around the sink and stains in the bathroom shower curtain just shows that it needs an update
