The service was really good. I especially liked the black facecloth provided for makeup removal! the beds and linens were superb. i also appreciated the complimentary water bottles replenished daily and the quality bathroom products provided.
the shower drain was a bit clogged, causing water to fill during showers. it wasn't a major issue, but it was slightly inconvenient.
