We stayed for six nights, and unfortunately our experience was uncomfortable. The room was extremely cold throughout our stay. Although we reported the issue multiple times, staff brought in engineering support each time, but the thermostat was never properly fixed. We requested a room change; however, the hotel was fully booked until the fourth night, so we had to remain in the same room for most of our stay. Additionally, there were many homeless individuals around the hotel. While the property did have security and we did feel safe, it still made the environment less pleasant. I was also surprised to find that there was no coffee machine in the room!!

The staff was friendly but we were not thrilled with the overall condition of the rooms. The first room had a significant amount of mold in The bathroom and the second room just didn't appear super clean. The hotel has a lot of homeless around it in the evenings and also a lot of street noise until 2-3am. The food was average and hotel parking was overpriced and should have been indicated on booking for consideration.
