The first night we arrived we had an issue with the ac, we were so tired we went to bed but couldn't sleep because it was so hot. The next morning I asked the lady at the desk if someone could look at it so she went up and unplugged it, plugged it back in and it worked for about an hour or so. We left, came back and it was hot again so I called the desk and the lady said she would be right up, she never came I called the next day and the lady came up, unplugged it, plugged it back in and it worked for a little while, I came back up after working out and it was hot again so the lady at the desk told us to pack our stuff and we would be moved to a different room. I'm not sure what was up with the first room as the TV wouldn't stay connected to the internet, the ac didn't work right and the water pressure was way lower than the second room. I'm glad we finally got switched rooms.

Property is good. Staff is great! However, breakfast items are horrible. No hot breakfast, no eggs, coffee was terrible. Elevator is super slow. They don’t offer any water, neither was any drinkable water in the room. Super tiny fridge in the room.
