the hotel does not have an elevator which makes it difficult to go up and down the floors with all your luggage especially when you have alot the water pressure in the shower was weak we had to get changed rooms and it got a tiny bit better the rooms have no security locks only the one regular key handle the rooms are not sound proof you can hear all the noise coming from the hallways which makes it difficult to get a good night sleep it was a great location the kitchen staff was very friendly
