plenty optionsnoise levelsjacuzzi hygiene
the breakfast had plenty of options, so at least i didn't starve.
The noise levels were pretty wild. I could hear everything from slamming doors to conversations in the hallway. also, the 'spa' was less relaxing retreat and more public swimming pool with questionable hygiene. i found several hairs in the jacuzzi.. needless to say, i didn't linger.
