The hotel was good, great location, I would stay again.
Pros:

I like the hotel and location.

Cons:

Couldn’t see how to plug up the microwave so we didn’t get to use it, had to plug up the refrigerator, which both should’ve been already plugged. I was asked if I wanted to switch rooms because maintenance was there but we had already settled, didn’t want to repack.
