Not much.
Negatives:
The refrigerator didn't work, the bathroom was so small we couldn't find the toilet paper. It was behind the door that we couldn't close. The pillows were bad and the bed was hard as a rock. The guy at the front desk that checked us in was impatient and seemed to not want to be there. He wasn't exactly rude but he was not cordial either.
