The room was nice, the staff was great, and check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. However, the room was really cold, and they had to send a “maintenance” guy to our room to put the heat up. It was weird. Also, there were no streaming channels on the TV, which I thought was pretty lame for this day and age and for the price of the room. Otherwise, it was fine.
