Very nice hotel staff, welcoming. Room was very clean and spacious. I was provided extra towels and water. Very nice to have microwave, hot water, and cold water dispensers though a bit of a hassle to have to leave the room to get it.

Air conditioning wasn’t working or not turned on and it is May. I want to sleep comfortably but can’t because it was 28 in the room. You can’t open the windows because of the noise outside. The location is awesome but who cares if you are too tired to enjoy the area.
