Not 5 star but great for the price!

Check-in caught me off guard as it was dine through a kiosk with a gal in Columbia on the other end. Apparently they keep the front desk area.locked which makes it a bit challenging if you're looking for help with anything. The room was satisfactory, although I found the bed situated rather low, but it was comfortable enough. Shower was great - never saw a drain situation like it... futuristic. No problem with parking near room. Hotel is conveniently located. I think they offer free breakfast, but I didn't have time to partake. All in all, it's a good hotel room for the price

No breakfast served and front desk is a virtual person on a kiosk. Room was clean and modern. Room door leads straight to outside. No elevator for 2nd floor. Stairs are narrow. Overall not bad, but also not great. If going just to sleep then should be fine.

The place was conveniently located if you have a car. It was clean and safe, which served my purpose. My only complaint is that the internet connection was spotty. Overall, a good experience.
