central location spacious room helpful team unadjustable thermostat outside noise poor reception
The location is central to everything, right in the heart of the area. Our room was spacious and well-appointed. The team was helpful.
The thermostat in the room could not be adjusted. As a result, I had to sleep with the window open, causing me to hear outside noises. The television reception was poor.
