It was really nice and quiet. I never like when there is no vent to turn on for the restroom, no air circulates after someone uses it. But everything was clean and pleasant.

Room was in a good condition, staff was friendly, noisy neighbor with loud TV sound. Maybe TV sound should be regulated to a maximum volume that next door neighbor would not be able to hear.

The room and the property was very nice! Parking was easy and the freeway is conveniently located close by. The staff was kind. I breakfast and coffee was simple but delicious. It appears they filled in the hot tub so i was disappointed about that. The wifi was fast and free. They offered upgraded wifi for video calls but i found that the free wifi was plenty fast for that. I got a balcony room and it was light, bright, and clean. Overall pretty perfect stay. My only complaint would be the elevators and elevator lobby are fairly run down and janky but the rest of the property is nice.
