I was charged $17.50 per night as an amenity fee. This fee is not included in the price of the room and is an underhanded surprise for the customer when they are charged for it at check-in. No amenities were used during the reserved stay. I am unhappy about this and will reconsider staying at this hotel in the future. .

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Our queen size bed room in the tower was small and the queen size bed felt more like full size. The so called continental breakfast was mainly a selection of bite-size pastries, frozen yogurts and microwaveable oatmeal cups in the lobby area with limited indoor seating. The so called gym was small with a few exercise machines tightly pack next to each other; no floor space for yoga or any floor exercise. The room was clean and the water filling station near the lobby was nice.
