Jason

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a very convenient location. It went well overall and the staff was helpful at check-in. The hotel is somewhat automated through the usage of an App, so there isn't always staff at the front desk. The App wasn't working when I tried to checkout, so I had to leave and contact the hotel afterwards. It took some effort to be able to contact someone, so that would be my only complaint. I would stay again.
