super experience near waterfront

ideal location room upgrade late check-out flight schedule
i really enjoyed my short stay there. the location, near the waterfront, made things really easy. i got a complimentary room upgrade when i arrived which was a fantastic surprise. also, i asked for a late check-out later, and this worked great with my flight plans.
the bathroom design had a slight problem because the shower did not have a door, so water went onto the floor a little bit.
