"Breakfast was a 12 on a scale of 1-10. (Fabulous crispy bacon was only one positive- huge choices like a cruise ship buffet for breakfast - and they would cook to order as well.)"

Mixed Feelings About My Stay

small room

The room was smaller than expected, especially considering the price. I also noticed the absence of readily available air conditioning. This made temperature control difficult. It began early each morning. Dust accumulated quickly due to the ongoing work outside. It was a bit frustrating.

small roommorning noise

The room felt quite small, especially considering the price. i really missed having enough space to comfortably unpack and move around. also, the lack of drawers or shelves meant i basically lived out of my suitcase. it wasn't ideal for a longer stay.
