Honestly a great stay. I got in early morning, and the front desk person was able to help me check in much earlier than I expected which was very appreciated. Standard sized room and bedding was great. Slept very well.

Good hotel, good location. I didn't love that they don't give you a physical key so you need to always use a link to open your door. In theory, it sounds convenient, but finding a link, going to your digital key, and then waiting the 30 seconds for the bluetooth to connect to the door to unlock it is tedious and seriously annoying.
