"Hotel was clean, comfortable, quiet and close to where we needed to be. The only downside was there was no information provided on check-in. No wifi information provided, no instructions or infortmation about pool, restaurant, etc. There was also none of the usual hotel information in the room - there was a QR code in the elevator to order from restaurant, but nothing in room to order. There WAS a QR code in room to download an ap to search for hotel information - but I personally prefer...
