8/10 Very good

I was upgraded to a bigger room so that was very nice as it gave me more room to move around. The room are clean and bright, nice bathroom mirror with light and defog feature. I liked the mobile table that neatly tucked under the entertainment table when not in use, and stocked cupboards with plates and utensils, hot plate, fridge, microwave, Keurig machine, and toaster. Very nice!
