Clean room, comfortable bed, nice shower but low water pressure, easy check in and out, no room service. Lots of rules. Overall nice place but too expensive with no amenities.

I thought the room was really excellent and the details, from the kettle to the shower were really top of the line. My only complaint was that the super inviting walk in shower, with the giant shower head, had very weak water pressure - it was a real disappointment.
