Amazing service from the front desk staff at check in and check out. A gentleman also assisted me with my luggage cart that’s wheels got stuck on the elevator. I had my hands full trying to wrangle an energetic 2 year old at the same time and it was really appreciated.

The facilities are outdated, and the carpet is very dirty; the windows have poor sealing, resulting in significant outdoor noise.

The people running the property were amazing. Great location we got a suite it was a really good size. The only thing I would say is the property is a little dated so if those are your expectations, then you’re good to go.
