average stay, some issues
weak pressurelimited selection
My room did not quite live up to expectations. the shower pressure was weak and inconsistent. the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool during the day (this was especially noticeable after being out in the heat). the breakfast selection was limited and seemed repetitive after a few days. I would have liked some more variety.
