This property was conveniently located for my visit. Overall hotel was quiet, however the building across the street began installing scaffolding at 5am. Not the hotel’s fault, but disruptive. I would prefer not to be buzzed in for the parking lot, but I’m sure this is for security reasons.

The property itself is good but check in was challenging as there was no good place to park close by. I learnt later that I should had head to their parking even though it was gated, locked and needed key card. They would have buzzed me but there was no way to tell that from outside
