"Friendly staff, elevator, very nice breakfast, large room. We were on the 4th floor with sloped ceiling because of the rooftop which affected some of the features of the room. Weird bathroom mirror made seeing your face difficult unless you bent down. Shower lacked water pressure, and our “view” was a small window that was too high up to see out of. Also, there was mold or mildew growing in a corner of the ceiling (probably roof leaking)."
