Amazing hotel. Clean, super updated. However, at night it got SO hot in the room. Just needed a fan or something to circulate the air. Front desk sent a tech to check it out but it didn’t help. Kept waking up to extreme thick hot air. Other than that, it was great.

I stayed on the 5th floor. Housekeeping would start cleaning at 7am and would wake me up everytime because of how loud they were. The walls are so thin that you can hear everything - people talking, walking, elevator dinging, loud door closing, and especially the vacuum. Even though i had the privacy sign up, housekeeping knocked on my door, and when i responded, all they said was sorry and left. And i would also like to mention that there are no black out curtains to block out the sun in the morning or to fully block the window for privacy.
