the room was quite spacious and comfortable. the bed was large and i slept very well. The size really impressed me.
The lack of complimentary coffee in the lobby was disappointing. i only had the coffee available in the room. It wasn't the best i've had. there was no coffee, unless you bought it at the coffee bar.
