Even though it was comfortable and looked really good in pictures. I had issues with room like the AC wasn’t working but we managed with the windows open that helped cool the room. That being said if the issue persists in summer it won’t be my choice of place to stay.

Upon checking in renovations were not mentioned. 1 elevator worked out of 4 and the tv didnt work. A night auditor came to my room to argue with me about my complaints. The carpet smelled musty and my room smelled.
