Our stay was in early fall so we didn't get to use the pool. Check in was easy. The parking spots are a little tight making it a tad difficult if you have a lot to unpack. Room was a great size and the bed was comfy. The window in the bathroom is frosted but it's facing the parking lot so you can see people walking by which was a little weird. Overall, a great place to stay and at a nice location for walking around the city.

If I could give 0 stars I would. The room smelled awful! The bedding smelled bad, the air smelled moldy & the air vents were dirty. I could not use the heater because it was so loud, I couldn’t sleep. The bathroom fan was also incredibly loud. The guest above me turned on their sink and the pipes woke me up out of a dead sleep. I could also hear them talking and could almost make out what they were saying above me!
