faulty televisioncramped room
I was assigned a cramped room. it barely accommodated my luggage. the television was on the fritz too. I called three times but no one ever came to fix it. it reminded me of shouting into the void. i guess that's what i get for assuming things work as advertised.

great locationbreakfast choicebroken windowawkward toilet
I found the location to be AMAZING!!! It was so convenient to get around. Breakfast had lots of choices. I enjoyed the buffet style. I was like there was something for everyone.
The bedroom window did not properly shut. I could hear traffic all night. It was difficult to sleep well. The toilet was too close to the wall. It was also tucked into the sink.
