Pros:

Location was decent

Cons:

bathroom wasn't totally clean with some hairs on the tub, used toilet paper rolls, small and cramped room. Decor was boring corporate decor.

Great Leadership
Pros:

David Hornstein at the desk took incredible care of us. We had difficulty with our billing because of complexity on our end, but he handled it warmly and with professionalism and got the whole process resolved immediately. He is a fantastic manager and we are so happy to have interacted with him.
