Room was great! Clean and nice! My biggest complaint is that they couldn’t leave our bags at the front when we arrived early we had to go across the street and pay $20 to help our bags cap for a couple hours until our room is ready. I’ve never been to a hotel in my entire life that didn’t have the ability of your luggage while you wait.

The check-in experience was awful. The Front desk staff needs to be trained to help people. The person just stood by the kiosk while we struggled. She seemed very put off when my colleague from Belgium had issues. Very uncomfortable situation. It was quite embarrassing. There was an Asian Gentleman on the last day that was nice. But no eye contact or smiles from anyone else. Very strange. Room was clean and nice. But COLD as the heater didn't work.

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff was modestly attentive. Room was very small which is ok but our view was of a brick wall with plumbing (sewer?) that seemed to leak all night was a problem. But the worst thing was that there were no plastic cups or any cups in order to to take pills or brush your teeth. And they also locked us out of the room before the 11 am departure time. We had to climb the stairs to get a key extension to get into the room for our luggage and it did not work the first time. So we had to climb the steps again. Not bad really but irritating.
