Check-in staff very nice. Found out I don't get loyalty points if booked thru a 3rd party. Vending machine took coins only. The part that would make me not want to stay there again is the noise. We could hear people in the hallway and a child running in the room above us, also the overhead music while waiting for the elevator annoying, we prefer quiet.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and for the most part the hotel was quiet: all very important to me. The breakfast was a disappointment because other than an apple and gluey oatmeal, there were no healthy options. Nothing vegan and gluten free. Sugar, bread and meat eaters would have been happy with the breakfast options.
