Great staff. Spacious rooms but not enough storage space for clothing so had to live out of the suitcase. Able to have a fridge and microwave in the room. Doors are very loud when closing. Amenity fee was not convenient as we were always charged incorrectly and had to contact in room dining to restock our mini bar several times a day.
