Pros:

Very clean the hallways were brightly lit.
These folks aren’t trying to hide anything.

Would I stay again?
Pros:

Had a great breakfast and the room was nice

Cons:

Arrived early to let them know I was here. Told me I could check in at 1 or 2pm. Came back at almost 6pm and my room wasn't ready still. However they put me in a suite instead that was ready. I feel the price for 1 night is a bit high for what you get compared to other hotels that are cheaper but just as good. Additionally there isn't any soundproofing. You can hear every door close on your floor and multiple sirens outside. I'd say 5 out of 10 personally.
