I found this out by taking the elevator upstairs and being met with total darkness. The hall to my room was dark when I was trying to find my room, as well. Otherwise, it was an acceptable place to spend one night. ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Charles 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Grate place to stay ##### Charles Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel 10 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Is a nice place to stay ##### Samuel Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### VICTOR VINICIUS 13 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The place is good ##### VICTOR VINICIUS Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bryan 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Room was cool, the bar was great.

No frills. Decently clean. Shuttle service was prompt and it took no more than 10 min to get to the sleepy at mid morning.
