Liked: Staff & service
I had unresolved issues on my trip. The manager was not really present and only addressed my minor issues. The outlet in my bed was broken making charging inconvenient. You get one towel for your stay regardless of how long you are there. The staff are nice and friendly. The location is very good. There is hot water. Lots of positives but a simple change of beds could have really made a difference for my stay. I checked out early.
