Travel Purpose: business
Positive: The bright lighting in the room was good for reading. Would have been ideal to have a little desk. But was great anyway. Was a little noisy outside, but not anything that I found a problem. It is very central so that's what would be expected.
Negative: Green light in bathroom
Summary: Excellent! Thanks :)
