The room was clean and cool. My only issue was the front desk was unmanned (due to a holiday) and in order to check in, I had to call to get a key code. This was not obvious as the signage was "We've stepped away for a bit, but we'll be back shortly". Another guest came over to tell us to call. Otherwise the stay was nice.
