Only issue we had was the air conditioner is at the.head of the bed and blows directly on you which is extremely uncomfortable for the person sleeping in the bed next to the air conditioner.

Ou room wasn’t thoroughly cleaned before check in. We found a shirt in the armoire, a pizza box in the microwave and snacks in the dresser drawers. So gross.
