great locationleaky showerpoor maintenance
the location was great right in the center of everything.
The room i had wasn't great. The bathroom was particularly disappointing. the shower leaked all over the floor, and the toilet required holding the button down to flush properly. it felt quite old and not well maintained, which detracted from the experience.
