i really enjoyed the big size of the junior suite i stayed in. the room felt super nice and clean, and so was the bathroom! i also appreciated that it had a security safe and a bigger minibar fridge!
the shower drainage needs some work i think. also, i found the attitude of the young lady at check-out a bit upsetting! instead of explaining the additional charge, she just wanted to argue with me.
