Umang, the gentleman at the front desk at check in, was EXTREMELY polite. He got me checked in very quickly with zero issue. My only small complaint with the property is the “closet” in the room. There really is nowhere to hang a coat or clothing. Other than that,

Staff were very nice and facility clean but if you are planning to stay, you won't get too much sleep. Walls are very, very thin. I could hear people talking next door like they were in my room. If you have a busy stay like we did, be prepared for the talking and noise.
