spacious room friendly staff small bathroom no counter
The room was very spacious, and I found it comfortable. The room cleaning was excellent, and the service was very good. The staff at the front desk was friendly and helpful, but the Wi-Fi was slow! Large umbrellas were available to keep residents dry during the rain.
The hotel needed remodeling! The bathroom was small. There was no counter space. The bathroom door would not stay closed. It could not open all the way without hitting the nightstand.

the bathroom was small. there's virtually no counter space, and the toilet reminded me of what you'd find in a workplace. the bathroom door wouldn't stay closed properly and bumped into the nightstand.
