The room lights were difficult to turn off as the light switch seemed broken or malfunctioning. S Bathroom door was very loud and not enough privacy. The room keys shouldn't be branded with the company logo. If the keys are lost. It's very easy for a person to figure out where the key belongs to. Thank you so much. We had a comfortable stay...
