Clean room, friendly staff. Water in shower would get hot from faucet but only get luke warm in the shower no matter how many times I tried. Also, had to walk back to office from vill in dark parking lot as my key card stopped working on second night- and no I didn’t have it by my phone or any magnets. This is very unsafe and inconvenient.
