the room felt quite cramped for the price i paid the sink in the bathroom leaked constantly which was annoying i had to ask multiple times for it to be fixed but nothing happened the whole time i was there. i found this unacceptable given the hotel's supposed level of service. it made getting ready unpleasant and wasted water.
