Acceptable Stay with Definite Shortcomings

minibar situation unsupervised children
The location proved acceptable, especially for accessing city attractions.
The minibar situation puzzled me, its presence seemed questionable. the gym was disappointing as young children ran amok there unsupervised.

Adequate Stay, Some Issues

friendly staff convenient location poor lighting noisy air conditioning
I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. The customer service I received was very good. I also found the location convenient for visiting various attractions. The valet parking was ideal.
I found the lighting in the bathroom not very good. The shaving mirror was falling apart, disappointing. I also noticed the doors of the shower and bathroom banged into each other. The air conditioning was very noisy.
