The hotel is rather new and has some excellent features. I liked the way shampoo, etc. was delivered. I liked the closet. I found the bed not to be comfortable for me. I found the mattress too hard.

The property was nice, however, there was construction going on behind the property so that was not great to try and sit out ono the patio and enjoy outside with the dirt and construction going on behind the hotel.

The bed sheets didnt smell clean, the sound control was poor. You could hear everything, which is sad because it's a newer hotel. When I checked in, the guy at front desk was not welcoming at all.
