Nice size rooms. One of the elevators was often not functional so it made waiting for the elevator long. Clean and responsive staff.

The room was clean when we arrived, The maids were not the best, we had to request more towels and they were great about bringing them. But we asked if they could remove the others and dirty dishes- they never did. Nor did they remove dirty cups nor did they replenish coffee. We only stayed a few nights, when we requested they didn't respond.

Room was spacious. I like that they had a fridge with a freezer. The only thing i disliked was when I sat on the toilet, the front of my left knee was touching a wall. I'm 5'6, 160s. Any taller, I would have to sit diagonally.
