Room was clean, check in was quick and receptionist was friendly. Loved the mini kitchen and automatic ice dispenser in the freezer. Got a room in the 3rd floor and it was quiet, aside from a family walking around the hallways one night, it was great! Stayed 4 nights to recover from burnout and being able to stay inside the room without worrying about daily housekeeping was amazing. I'll definitely stay here again the next time I need a solo vacation.
