Property and all spaces are excellent. Close to many restaurants and shops. I guess I missed something but, my room didn't even have a clock or storage for clothing. hanging clothes are right in the living area. I survived but, I wouldn't do it again.

Beds very uncomfortable and pillows were also. Loud noises, probably due to location of ice machine, but also strange creaking and boom type sounds. Staff all very nice.
