The room itself was great, the AC worked very well, it was very clean and well stocked with necessities. There was a decent breakfast in the morning as well. The front desk is not always staffed, and the vending machines don't work well, so bring your own water and snacks. The hallways to the rooms are a little gross. The parking area is not well lit at night and is not in a great area, but we still felt pretty safe. Overall, I am satisfied. The price was fantastic for the state of the room.
