poor air conditioninglukewarm fridge
Listen, I ain't gonna lie, the air conditioning was a joke. It barely sputtered out cool air. I nearly melted, honestly. the mini-fridge, they call it a fridge. It was more like a slightly cooler box. Drinks remained only lukewarm. That thing is practically useless.

The Superior Room with Two Double Beds had comfortable beds. I especially appreciated having a separate toilet enclosure (very practical during a longer stay).
The parking spots were quite tight. I had to be careful maneuvering my car (I managed it though).
