Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The building was under construction so the room selection was limited. The bathroom towels in my unit had stains and hair on them. When the air conditioner was used a funky smell came blew in to the room. I used a flashlight to look into the front of it and realized the filter has never been changed and the inside coils had A LOT of crud on them. The refrigerator mad a dripping noise all night.

It was like it hadn't been touched since 1974 and the whole place smelled like grandma's dirt-floor basement. Whoever took the photos of the place deserves an award for making it look a hundred times better than real life. I paid for a king suite and got what looked like a prison cell.

Good location but too pricey for what you get.

It's okay. Too pricey though for the quality. I liked the fridge and microwave. Bed was okay but clean. Room was kind of musty smelling.
