Good stay overall
high ceilings blackout curtains spacious bathroom poor lighting excessive wait rude bartenders
The room had big high ceilings and windows. Blackout curtains were available in the room. The bathroom was spacious and I found the shower great.
The room was very badly lit. It was hard to see things clearly. The bartenders needed some serious training. The wait for drinks was excessive. Orders were dumped on the table without an apology for the wait.
