The guy at the front desk was very nice and informative. Room was clean. The mattress had a giant dip on one side but im small and was exhausted so didnt care. Slept really well. Breakfast smelled amazing but i couldnt eat any because I had to be at my job at 7 am and that is when they start serving.

The room and staff were amazing but i was very disappointed that the TV in my room wasn't a smart TV. The remote has the option for Netflix and Amazon but that's it, just the buttons. The TV was incapable of using WIFI therefore I couldn't watch TV while I spent hours in the room. That's very disappointing seeing as smart TV a very affordable now. Since there aren't any smart TV's in the room maybe there should be basic cable at least for us customers who just want to lay in bed and relax.
