The front desk agent, Lester, was very efficient and extremely helpful with information about the area and tourist attractions. The breakfast consisted of cereal, muffins, yogurt, eggs, breakfast sausages, bread, and tater tots. The coffee (and black tea) station, together with orange/apple juice was accessible 24/7.

We got to the room and there was blood stains all over the sheets. The workers did nothing about it just gave us a new sheet and told us to change it.

Unexpectedly in rooms began to shake. The bed, the walls, the floor, the air conditioning unit. When we got the front desk staff. The shaking had stopped. Very odd. It lasted 3-5 minutes

I had a lovely check in experience with the front desk staff. It was smooth and the perfect place to stay for a concert. My friends and I split the cost and it was very reasonable. Plus we had a blast getting ready.
