Underwhelming hotel, ok at best, t worth the cost

Pros - room clean, comfy bed, nice looking building, big pool Cons - wifi didnt work, elevators were slow/not working, paper thin walls/could hear people in hallway constantly, room amenities very simple/basic, tiny rooms. Overall not worth the price paid.

Don’t go

It was an uninspiring experience. The elevators were not working - 1/2 wait for 1 elevator. No parking other than a ridiculous $60 valet parking . The windows leaked cold air and the coffee machine did not work. Not recommended. Will not go again
