We were given sheets for pull out sofa, the sheets had black markings and foul odor, our bathroom had black marks that looked like mold around shower walls. The heat was either too hot or too cold and staying on the 2nd floor should not be an option given the noise of traffic, trucks and honking at 6am. Staff was friendly. Room was spacious.

The hotel is incredibly well located, which was a big sell for us. We had two adjoining rooms in a suite for us and our kids, and the space was great. The pullout bed was not that comfortable for the kids, but our queen bed was great. We had to ask for extra pillows (there were only two for 4 of us) but we got them right away. Lots of dust in the bedrooms and grime in the bathroom. The kitchenette in the room was very handy for storing things but came with no plates or utensils, so hard to make any food. The location and space of our rooms was great though, so we’d consider staying there again.
