Know that the room is small, much like a motor home where everything is designed to make the best use of a small space. Perfect for me because I was traveling alone. Love the tech - iPad controlled lights, TV, shades, ambient music. Comfortable bed, nice shower. Good food at the restaurant/bar. I often got the pre-made salads because I was eating late and they were excellent.

Near to attractions and clean. Room is too small, no wash clothes and no coffee maker in room like other hotels. We were there early around 9 AM before check in 2pm. Staff that took our luggage knows that we were waiting for check in but not reminder or no body telling us to check in untill I noticed some guest checking in it was around 1.30pm. Should have let us if the room is ready before 2pm just wasted our time waiting to check in at 2pm. Terrible staff no concern for guest waiting to check in from 9 a.m.

The air conditioning in my room was not working, which made the room extremely uncomfortable, especially given the current weather. I did bring this to the attention of the front desk, but unfortunately, the issue was not resolved during my stay.
