Check-in was super easy and the lady at the front desk was so friendly and welcoming. The room was nice and spacious and the bed was comfy. There were some issues with the shower (heat/water pressure) and the ice machine on floor 9 (broken) and no complimentary water (although the bartender was VERY nice and filled up my water bottle with ice water). Parking was easy and the location was convenient and great for the price. Would definitely stay again and recommend!
