This property was nice, I like the more modern and clean look, very safe and friendly. With that said everything was fine till we got to our room and tried to brush our teeth. There was definitely something wrong with the water lines. We ran the water and about 20 seconds in you could hear pipes kicking and the water was cut, now mind you it was 10:30-11pm so we weren’t trying to be rude to our neighbors. Not to mention the shower same issue. Then when I brought it up to the front desk in the morning, they asked about my card and confirmed that they had it if anything comes up, and I was like it better not be put on my card this was preexisting and I walked out. Outside of that it was alright.
