Average Stay with Notable Issues

good locationslow elevatorsinconsistent housekeeping
The location is good. It is easy to reach various attractions.
The elevators were slow. This caused delays. Our room lacked sufficient power outlets. It was inconvenient. Housekeeping did not consistently refill the shampoo dispenser. I found this annoying.
