adequate stay, some drawbacks

small room water pressure

The room felt rather small. i am six foot seven, i could not really fit in the shower. Moving around the bathroom was hard too. i think the hotel is overpriced for what it offers. maybe give the better rooms first, so people don't complain about the smaller ones. I did ask for another room.
