Property was under construction but this wasn’t noted anywhere during the booking process. As a result 60-70% of the. Parking lot was filled with storage containers. Smoke detectors were missing in the hall ways. Breakfast was provided but quite average. Fitness center consisted only of 2 treadmills an elliptical and a handful of dumbbells in a very cramped space. Overall unfortunately a disappointing experience

Ot happy with the condition of the room: closet door was damaged and not working well, The interior door lock was broken so no extra security. No housekeeping services on the day after arrival - not notified of this upon arrival. Staff was very pleasant and helpful but unable to fix the problems - stated the first floor was to be renovated "this week".
