The location was accessible and easy to find. However the smell of the elevators about put me over the edge. It smelled like vomit. The refrigerator in our room had a clicking noise the entire time. There was no ice machine on any level except the main/ground floor. No continental breakfast.

Does not offer online check-in. Which is fine, but it did take a while to do the actual check in at the desk. We stayed 2 nights. The 2nd night we got some snacks from their little store. When we went to the desk to have them charged to our room, we found out that we were not checked in. They did take care of it by the time we left. Overall this is more like an extended stay hotel but on the cheaper side.
