10/10 Excellent
"Bed and bedding was excellent slept very well. Only complaint would be the AC was a bit lacking and was working all the time, think the unit is getting a tad tired. Towels and room cleaning staff were very good and very accommodating. The free breakfast was excellent good coffee, fruit choices , muffins were yum, yogurt and juices it was great to get a hard boiled egg as well, quick protein."
