The shower screen seal was broken, which caused significant water to leak onto the floor during use. Additionally, one of the light switches was not functioning, and there was no air conditioning in the room.

Staff was excellent, rooms were very nice….good shower and good bed. My issue was most of the rooms are on a lower level and have egress windows so you can’t see anything. Location is in a beautiful neighborhood, but there are no pubs or cafes close by
