Found bedbugs in our room and ensured that I would receive an email from a professional advising on the situation. I received no email or discount. I won't return here.

Heavy scented areas, likely covering up unpleasant odors. Needs a major update and more soundproofing.

Unfortunately, the bathroom floor was not clean to my standards (dirt accumulation behind door of bath and tiles had embedded dark spots). The tub and shower were good. Towels very clean, sheets nice. One of the quietest elevators I have ever encountered! Easily could hear neighboring room occupants walking and tv. This room had very nice views of the area. The breakfast okay with cereal, waffles, yogurt, breads, juice, scrambled eggs, and coffee, etc. I do wish they had some fruit options. Excellent views from eating area. Staff was very nice!
