"There are many good things. The facility is like a motel, an upgraded motel. The bath sink is partially clogged. The shower stream was set in a strangely strong but not adjustable - that makes the shower is not comfortable. The AC makes loud and strange noise all night - it is difficult to have a good sleep. The bed and linens are ok, better than what a motel uses."
