The propert went through some updates. The staff at the checking was pleasant. The bed was comfortable but the ac unit was set on default and we couldn't lower the temp. The room got too warm during the night. Plus, our room was next the elevator and every time the evaluator moved the machinery made some noise.

The room and halls smelled very clean and I had a good experience at reception. The hard floors are pretty loud, and I could hear every word spoken in the room joined to mine. Surprised they charge for parking given the cost to stay per night, but they do list that on the site. Overall, it was fine.
