Deadbolt didn’t work, fridge was missing all the wire racks on the door, shampoo container fell off the shower wall, huge gap under connecting room door, barista was rude (don’t pay $4 for an Americano because it’s just coffee from a canister that you serve yourself LOL). Pool was actually nice however you run out of sun quickly because of the building being tall. Employees (aside from barista) were nice and the hotel has potential but it’s just old and filled with problems. Would not stay again. I regret not paying 150-200 more for a better hotel.
