8/10 Good
"Parking was tricky as there was a lot of confusing signage in the parking lot. Our suite was spacious but the lighting was a bit dingy. The bathroom was particularly dark due to minimal lighting and dark tiled walls and floor. Higher wattage light bulbs near the couch would be helpful as would more spotlights or light fixtures in general. Light switch by the bed that controlled the outlets that the bedroom lamps are plugged into are convenient but made it so that our phones did not charge all night until we figured that out the next morning."
