Overall, pretty average stay

Stayed here out of convenience. Work/gym was right around the corner and was having work done at my place. Nothing special about checking in. Room was a good size. Bed was very comfortable. Only negative was the sound of the heating/air conditioning system. Im a light sleeper so woke me up during the night. Overall, pretty okay stay.
