7.8/10 Good! (1,549 reviews)
This was a very odd room. It seemed that whoever designed this hotel had not stayed in one. There is no closet and the space for hanging clothes is about 24 inches wide with a safe underneath so no long clothes can be hung. There were three hangers. There was only one chair in the room and only one table lamp on one side of the bed. One small soap shared between the sink and shower area. And lastly, only French vanilla coffee creamer. It was like this place wasn't ready.
