Note that you need a different confirmation code to self check-in, the one from expedia does not work, use the other one, the AI agent did not understand what i was asking, I had to get connected with a real person to solve this problem.

Good location, coffee shop in site is good. rooms are small and a bit crowed. The showers are in different floor so you have to take the elevators two or three floor to shower, it is not convenient at all!. Its ok to say for one day but not very comfortable more than that.

Over all was a nice place, but the restroom area is literally infront of the front desk, where everyone can hear you, the showers are dirty and public and the noise inside the building is a lot, I end up paying another hotel.
