The staff was accommodating. My room was clean however the air conditioner was ill working. It never once got below 70. We were only in our room about 15 hrs so it wasn't a deal breaker but it was warm for sleeping.

This place is a dump. TV didn’t work, mattress was basically on the ground and felt like it was from the 80s, deadbolt on the door had been busted and clearly not repaired. Can’t believe I paid over $400 for two nights for this quality. No parking available, had to pay $10/day at some lot next to it. Customer service was lack luster at best. Someone in the area mentioned it was outdated and crappy, unfortunately by the time they told me it was too late to cancel because of their insane policy. Wish I booked the Staybridge Suites right next door because the location was good.
