A night without access to the room.
Pros:

Is a decent spot on a great location.

Cons:

The keys would not open the room at the middle of the night sadly they don’t provide a 24hrs receptionist which they clearly state but at least a security guard with a master key would have been helpful.
Ended up spending the night outside until 8:40am when the receptionist made it to the office.
Wanted to scream in like a Karen but I hold my composure and was very gentle and let them know the situation as all I wanted was a good shower and properly shut my eyes for a little rest since I was checking out that same day.

Cons:

It’s nice that parking is included in the price, but there are only a few parking spaces, so you might not be able to find a spot if they fill up.
