I got in super late (1145pm) and was only going to get 4-5 hours of sleep, so I didn't really get to see much of the hotel. But... the shower was broken so I had to be creative. Which ended up being a good thing since the tub had long hair in it from the previous stay. Disappointing for $200 a night.

The room was so nice. However the AC vent/filter was either not cleaned or used in a long while. As soon as we turned the heat on, my allergies were severely affected. I could not stay in the room for longer than to sleep despite how nice it was. The front desk lady was kind, but the guy who checked us in was not helpful or reassuring. I would stay here again with some minor adjustments

It appears to be poorly managed. I dislike rooms as it was not cleaned, and they also put up a notice about loudness after midnight. However, someone was playing music near my room, and no one noticed. I am sure I will never go back to this location
