water station shuttle bus amazing buffet hard mattress ridiculous price early closure

The water station on each floor was helpful. I liked the shuttle bus service. The buffet was amazing, a real treat.

The mattress was hard. The coffee shop prices seemed ridiculous. The coffee shop closed early at 9:30pm, which i found inconvenient
