There isn’t an actual person to check in with. There is a kiosk and none of the equipment worked. Glad I was the only person in line.

I wasn’t a fan of the kiosk check in. Though the hotel clerk was friendly, it didn’t have the personal experience of interacting with a person.

The beds are torture racks.

I personally judge a hotel by how comfortable the beds are because really the whole point of being in a hotel is comfort and the only thing these beds were missing were the nails never in my life have I slept on a mattress this hard. Other than that it wasn't terrible but when the beds are so hard you literally cannot sleep then there's really no point in staying at that hotel in my opinion.

Amazing with food managers to help you when in need. I would say for people staying long in the hotel daily deactivation of the hotel key is not needed it shd be done at least once a week or every 5days. I don’t like the fact that I had to come to activate my key all the time. But overall the place was good. Thanks.
