Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Had a room tucked into a fire stairwell, completely separate from the rest of the rooms and down a different hallway. Only 1 deadbolt on the electric lock system, didn’t feel completely secure as a young woman traveling alone. Extremely loud at night, including yelling outside and not sure if it was plumbing or mechanical issues, but very loud bangs throughout the night. Would have been a completely different review had I not gotten this strange room but I grossly overspent for this stay
