Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was neat, clean and quiet. Good location. The security code access system worked well. The A/C unit did not work as it should as it did not cool the room and would shut down after a few minutes if set to "Cool" mode. Fan mode worked. As windows are sealed closed the room did get very hot and stuffy.
