The floor was tile with no entry rug to stop it from spreading whenever you came in and out. The rain shower looks nice but there is ...

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,174 reviews)
Overall, the stay was pleasant, but there were a couple of areas that could be improved. The room could have been cleaned more thoroughly, and the water pressure in the shower was quite low. With a bit more attention to housekeeping and maintenance, the experience would be even better.

The unit upstairs was either hosting 10 kids who ...
