It looked like someone was laying on our bed before we entered and the door was ope. (Not properly locked). There were a lot of people outside of our room making noise too. Other than that it was comfortable and clean enough.

The check in process was horrible. The front office was closed before 3pm. The online system did not provide the necessary link to allow me to get access to the code for the room. I was on the phone with the reservation desk for over an hour before I was finally able to get into my room.
