the front desk staff was always available and very helpful. the room included a good bathroom and a comfortable bed. streaming to the tv in the room was a great perk. free amenities were plentiful and conveniently located in the lobby

the motion activated light was disruptive when using the toilet at night. turning off the electricity meant the air conditioning did not work. the toilet made noises upon sitting which disturbed sleep
