The hotel area felt safe, staff was friendly, bed was comfortable, very clean in general, and overall recommend! My only complaint is that the fire detector is directly over the bed and the little light is so uncomfortably bright at night. I had a pack of sticky notes and was able to cover it enough to sleep well. The light from the hallway also comes into the bedroom but the way the bed is positioned, it wasn’t too bad. Also, I’m sensitive to strong scented shampoo/body soap and theirs is very strong smelling (smells good but too strong) so my allergies kicked in.
