I want to thank the front desk staff Rayven she was amazing!! We arrived earlier than expected because of an cancelled travel that shifted for earlier than expected. She did everything to make things less stressful and all the staff worked together to ensure the early check in. The room was very nice and clean. Loved the kitchen area equipped which we didn’t use because we were only there for a day attending the Cardi B concert. I will definitely stay here again.

The room was a bit dirty upon arrival but I cleaned it myself because of the holiday and not wanting to cause any problems or issues with staff. Breakfast was horrible but overall the staff was very friendly and helpful.
