The power/ outlets went out in our room a total of 7 times during the stay. Somehow me saying “yes if this happens again we would like to switch rooms” turned into us refusing to change rooms ? Along with that, the maintenance staff gave me attitude when I told him we were looking for housekeeping he told us the sign was the wrong way. I have photo proof (time stamped) to show we had requested the room service.

The room was modern and had a great bathroom, the area itself was very commercial and there was difficulty for parking, but a parking station closeby had parking by the hour up to a maximum of $15. I did find the aircon blowing on the bed made it difficult to sleep and pillows were strange. Free wifi was very handy and a nice free breakfast.
