helpful staff separate shower large bed
the staff seemed helpful . my room included both a bathtub and a separate shower. There was also a mini fridge in THE room that i used. the bed was large.
the bathroom layout wasn't ideal. there wasn't much privacy because of a partial wall and transparent glass.
