Water pressure for shower was very poor. Shower has overhead shower head as well as a handheld shower. pressure was so poor. The handheld came out as a dribble.

One-nighter
Enjoyed our one-night stay. Front desk people were professional and friendly. Much appreciated. And the breakfast room attendant was attentive and sweet. My only complaint might be that there was a lot of racket outside the building quite early in the morning, around 6:30-7 a.m.

Enjoyed a swim in the pool. Only downside was the noisy plumbing. It felt like we were sharing the bathroom with our neighbors.

No power when we arrived, but they gave us an upgraded room with a door wall to let in fresh air without us even having to ask. Got recommendations for dinner that worked out and when we returned, the power was restored! All and all a great stay.
