Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were courteous. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. However, noisy heater and loud fridge recycling on and off made uninterrupted sleep difficult. Entry door electronic security card latch worked sporadically, which was frustrating when going to and from the room.
