There was no airflow in the room even though the fan was on. It was very stuffy. My room key stopped working before check out time. Also the Internet stopped working. The desk clerk was not helpful at all. Regarding the Internet, she said I should call technical support. I was getting ready to leave. I did not have the time nor the desire to troubleshoot the hotel's computer system.

The front desk agent was very nice. The room was amazing! I felt like royalty when I entered the room. It was beautiful. Very clean! We weren't able to stay for breakfast because we had to leave very early. The next time I'm in town, I will definitely stay here again.
