Disliked: Cleanliness
Both the outer bedding and sheets were stained making me feel uncomfortable. We asked for a replacement and were given a clean sheet. The furniture in the room was stained as well. The walls are very thin and we could hear our neighbors full conversation and music. It was almost as if we were in the same room as our neighbors.

We had a little problem at check in, but it was quickly fixed. We loved our room and the amenities. One of our favorite moments was the coffee service in the lobby. It was self-serve, but clean, fast, and no lines! The staff was very nice and helpful.
