Looks great from the outside and close to restaurants and shopping. The room literally had NO windows, it felt very claustrophobic. From the narrow hallways, to the stairs, elevator and underground parkaids it was a confusing maze. You need to leave bread crumbs to find your way back to the lobby, but then some of the hallway doors close & lock at 9pm so you need to turn around and find another route. I’ve been in easier corn mazes easier than this place to get out. The location was great! I would say the view was nice but with no windows I couldn’t tell you. The pool is now filled-in, and the parking only has 6’ height. Check in was easy, friendly employees,
