I actually checked in and did not even sleep there. I did shower in the room but just did not sleep there. Upon check in there was a crazy, homeless person in the lobby that really made me uncomfortable so I just used the room to shower in the day but slept at my daughter's apartment on the floor. The room was neat and clean and updated, I just got weirded out by my initial experience.

Bed was too soft and frame moved around quite a bit. Water pressure in sink was very low. Entry door was difficult to operate as the number pad backlight didn’t illuminate. The self check in with remote concierge was convenient and easy!

I didn’t like that I couldn’t speak to a staff member at the front desk at all. The room is cheap furniture and cheap renovations.
