Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The room didn't have any bath towels, only hand towels and washcloths. There was hair, mold and the door tract was grimy in the shower. The mini fridge was leaking water on the floor. The beverage machine was out of several drinks. I couldn't find the ice machine. There are no signs and it isn't in an obvious location. The rest of the room was very clean. I really liked that there was a mini fridge.
