Never staying again at this location.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Upon check in hotel staff was on computer in lobby and asked me to wait while he finished. About 4 min wait. The door on left behind front desk visibly had trash bags full of what looked like clothes piled on a corner desk. Very messy looking. We thought a workout area was included. When we asked staff. His comment was you can take the stairs. Loud music kept us up late into the morning.
