Security was safe. Lobby area is very nice and modern. Friendly staff. Gave us a beverage from the bar while we waited for our room. Our room was on the third floor. No elevator. And no help with luggage. They held our luggage after checking out behind the open front desk. No storage closet.

Open bar was helpful, staff was friendly, and location was good. Bathroom shower was dirty, and especially the shower floor (mold on floor, I showered with flip flops). Water pressure was very low so it took twice as long to shower.
