After two mixups with accès cards to rooms that were already occupied we got our rooms and you know what, rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, wifi with now issues and close to the action and transit.

Also for those of us with disabilities and without, a rack or table and chair would be great to have in the empty space in the shower area since not connected to our rooms we have no places to set down our clothes and shower supplies.
