Most everything was well above standard. However, the A/C in my room was very "clangy" and loud and cost me a good night's sleep. And, there was a used vape unit on the roof directly outside my window, which was a bit unsightly. Other than those things, the staff were very nice and helpful, and the facility is beautiful.
