“The hotel is a bit like a maze. It is all sorts of random hallways with elevators in strange locations, and odd sets of steps.”

spacious layout high pressure

The room was a superior double room. it included a spacious layout and provided ample room to relax and move around. The bathroom featured high water pressure in the shower, which i found quite refreshing after a long day of travel

The hotel hallways had a slight odor. It was a minor issue.
