Gym was just a treadmill. breakfast was sparse but it was free & on time every morning. Rooms were clean, staff was nice. It seemed like a place that COULD have sketchy vibes, but then didnt at all and was super chill if that makes sense.

The staff was very nice at this hotel. Problem with the door keys almost immediately, people hanging out in the lobby and outside, having a room directly across from the elevator and guest laundry room made for a very loud overnight stay. The toilet ran all night and overflowed in the early morning without any use.
