Overall really good. My one complaint is the showers (extremely difficult to get hot water, and after 20 minute of trying, you get 10 seconds of scolding hot water and then back to cold).

They were very nice, the man at the front desk let us return to leave bags and charge our devices before going to the airport even a day after we had stayed there!
