underwhelming experience with key issues
malfunctioning cardsmoldy shower
i stayed for several nights and the magnetic card system really tested my patience. getting only two cards for a family was already not the best. the cards consistently failed to work in the elevator or to open the room. it meant frequent trips to reception to get them fixed. the bathroom had mold in the shower, a real turn off.
