"The room was suitably clean and fresh, the air conditioning was indicating it needed cleaning and the sweep direction was broken, so we had to attach some duct tape to adjust the direction of air coming out as it was blowing directly down on the bed and it was also unusually noisy, which made it hard to get to sleep, other than that it was a very comfortable stay, I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others."
