Acceptable Stay
friendly staff free parking ineffective air conditioning impractical dispenser
The staff was very friendly. The hotel grounds include plenty of parking spaces. The parking was free.
The room's air conditioning did not heat the room effectively. The soap and shampoo dispensers were at the far end of the shower. This was not practical. I did find the room's design overdone. It lacked ergonomic functionality.
