The room was clean but the flooring at the top of the bed on the left was loose and if anyone trod on it the floor would give way. We reported it to reception. No power outlet in the bathroom. But the bed was ok and the coffee at the cafe was pretty good. Nice and close to all of the entertainment in town though.

We were unable to access our room by elevator…we were on level 1 …7 stairs down to an open atrium with rooms around a common courtyard. 2 seniors should not be required to haul luggage up and down stairs just to get in and out of our room! The room itself had water outside the door…at 9 am, they flood the plants and cause the floors to be slippery on top of hauling luggage! Very disappointing and a ridiculous setup for a hotel! We did not enjoy our stay…luckily we only booked 1 night.
