My room door did not latch, staff was slow to respond to problems, my room was not cleaned once during my stay (had to ask multiple times for clean linens), and the internet barely worked. Would not recommend for any sort of work or related trip. The only redeeming quality of this stay was that it was cheap, but could gave stayed at the motel 6 for similar quality stay.
