The room was clean and bed was comfortable, but a bit small. The attached restaurant was good. The fire alarm system is over sensitive and we were told to keep the bathroom door closed during and after taking a shower otherwise the fire alarm may go off. Someone did not listen to this instruction so we spent 20 minutes standing outside waiting for the fire department.
