My room was on the first floor. It was very noisy - because the floors aren't carpeted, the guest upstairs sounded like they were having a flamenco dance party until midnight. There was a loud buzzing and clicking noise every 5 minutes in the room that I couldn't find the source for. The room was just off the very noisy breakfast room that filled with people at 7am. The conditioner and shampoo bottles in the shower were out. The room was VERY small, and there was no place to put my luggage except on the floor. When we arrived, the key card maker was out, so the very nice staff had to let us in and out of our rooms anytime we came and went. Great location! Comfortable bed. But wouldn't stay here again.

The room didn’t have a safe or closet. The elevator wasn’t working one day. The heat didn’t work in our room, but the manager did bring us an extra blanket and a space heater. On the upside, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast was above-average. I liked the 24/7 free coffee, tea, and water. The room was clean.
