Great place for a night

Very nice lobby and room. The outside didn’t seem nice and very loud but couldn’t hear the noise in the room. Room was large. Wish there were restaurants walking distance from hotel ( through sidewalk system).

I reserved the rest of my stay somewhere else.

There were some black insects along the wall. We only had three pillows. The refrigerator would not cool our drinks. No laundry area.
