Great Location. Very good overall.
Pros:

The staff was very nice. The location was excellent. The outlets all worked well.

Cons:

The shower was equipped with refillable bottles of soap, shampoo and bodywash....except the bodywash bottle was empty.

Since we were going to a more formal event, we needed to hang clothes in the closet. The floor of the closet was VERY dusty.
