My room was super clean, which I really appreciated! I loved that laundry facilities were available on my floor. Made everything so easy. Staff were excellent. They were really helpful and friendly.

The air conditioning was quite loud. It was hard to ignore. My room was a bit on the small side. It felt a little cramped. I found the in-room coffee maker difficult to use. Instructions would have been helpful.
