Decent Stay, Some Missed Opportunities

comfortable furnishings great room blackout curtains low water pressure overcooked food slow service
I had a great room layout. The furnishings were comfortable (I liked the desk area). The hotel provided ample space and effective blackout curtains.
The water pressure was very low in my room. The hot water also kept cutting out. I had to wait a long time for tea and breakfast. The food was overcooked.
