They do NOT have a gym! You have to walk 5 minutes to a nearby business and pay $10 to go to “their gym” for the day. I feel like that is false advertising. The air conditioning makes random grinding noises all night. There is no lift (elevator) to the second floor. The parking is a nightmare and very limited. It also requires pre-booking. They should have a temporary parking spot for check in. Signage is scarce to find the rooms. The rooms are very clean and modern looking, so that was nice.
