“Average”
Chose this hotel for it’s location, but was not impressed. The hotel is clean, and the room was a nice size, but there are no room safes as advertized, and there was no concierge on duty to assist, or help with baggage.

It was chaos.Our air conditioning only blew out hot air even on the lowest setting and the windows didn’t open so we roasted all night. Room was clean. Staff didn’t seem … more
