The room was perfect for what we were looking for. The only issue we had was that the seal on the shower door was not complete and resulted in some water leaking from the bathroom towards the entrance door, but staff was quick to solve this issue when I called the front desk and we had no further issues. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone, we will definitely be coming back!
