The location proved convenient for my plans. I appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks provided in the mini fridge. The staff were efficient and polite. The free coffee in the lobby was a nice plus.
The wifi coverage was spotty . It impacted the casting facility onto the television at times. The room's sound isolation was inadequate. Noise from the hallway was clearly audible.

The staff was really friendly and helpful. The room had complimentary drinks and snacks in the fridge. This was a nice touch. The location was GREAT! I could walk to many places to eat nearby.
The carpet was FILTHY. A white towel looked like a mud patch after blotting up spilled water. Few amenities were in the room, such as no coffee or tea. The light above the sink in the bathroom was LOW wattage.

The location was very convenient. I found the staff to be professional. Complimentary snacks and drinks were a nice touch. The rooftop lounge was a bonus. I could bring my own beverages up there.
The room could have used more lighting. I noticed there was no bathroom fan. I also spilled water on the carpet and the towel was very dirty when I cleaned it up, indicating that the carpets need a good cleaning. The WiFi was unreliable at times.
