Nice, with a couple exceptions
Thermostats are almost useless. Lowest temp is 66, and ours stayed above 66 although 66 was selected as we like to sleep cooler. . The fan was set to auto even though we had it set to low and high, neither worked. The floors are super thin, someone above us was running back and forth at 4:30 am every morning.

Liked: Staff & service
The women at the front desk were friendly and polite upon deck in. When I found my room, I noticed a pencil on the chair which immediately made me wonder how well the room had been cleaned. The sheets had a few dark stains on them and there was a crack in the shower basin. Tried the breakfast, it was ok. The juices were all watered down and gross, and there was no non-dairy option for coffee.
