The hotel room was very nice and clean. The only negative was that the air conditioner made the room too cold, and we ended up resorting to turning it off completely. It was very quiet, and comfortable. The complimentary meal in the morning was very good, but the limited space made it difficult to eat comfortably. The tables were very close together which made it difficult to move easily around the room. Other than a few minor inconveniences, we had a very nice stay.
