Guest reviews

The location was very convenient, and the facilities were very clean.

The location was very convenient, and the facilities were very clean.

During two out of the four nights, events and TV recordings were taking place in the hall of the facility. During this time, the entrance door of the accommodation facility, which is normally locked, was left open, allowing anyone to come and go. This raised security concerns.

The water temperature in the shower was exceedingly hot. It might need to be adjusted. The dishwashing soap did not lather to clean the dishes, and the shower dispenser was not working. This is just an observation, not a criticism.
