It's well-sited for transport (highways, airport, downtown), the staff is great, and the beds were pretty comfortable. There was a humidity issue- a dehumidifier in the hall outside the room looked like it had been there for a long time and was constantly full. Similarly, the sauna wasn't working and the paper "Out of Order" sign looked pretty old. Bathroom wasn't great- low water pressure. Also, the light switch was a motion sensor. Fine, except I decided to take a bath and the lights went out. Had to get out to trigger it. Still- overall a good hotel.
