Great powerful shower head. Though AC would spew out black ash. We told hotel but it wasn’t totally cleaned out. You could clearly see the black ash on the bed sheets.

The welcome and information provided was just right. The room was fairly basic but good value. The overall stay and experience was superior to the 4 star hotel we stayed in the night before.

The only "bad" thing I can think of is parking: the parking spots are very narrow, and you may not be able to fit into some of the parking spots if you have a bigger car. But there were enough spots to choose from. Everything else was very nice!
