Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
They had no hot water in my room. They tried to inconvenience me. By moving me after 11 PM when I had woken up from a nap, they wanted to give me a key to another room to shower for the price that I paid. That was not good enough. This book in agency did not do anything for me as well
