My room featured air conditioning. It ensured restful sleep. I appreciated the generous room size. The decor was well-thought-out. The staff was friendly and helpful (the manager Lee was particularly cute).
I noted the tea and coffee facilities were located in the corridor. They were not directly in the room.
