Excellent location, safe, nice staff, cleanliness, Happy Hour menu at the restaurant. All good except that the room was not quite ready - frozen drink in the fridge & TV not working plus the issue with the bathroom door.

Bathroom door is hard to close, very tight fit, need to push hard to close and need to pull hard to open. See the next 6 pictures.

They tried to patch the crack, holes, damage, etc. but did a terrible job. The door needs to be replaced.

Bottom corner of door, really rotten and bad.
