No AC, no way to open the window. The door lock is bad and can’t read the card. The elevators were next to my bedroom and I could eat the mechanism all night long. Cleaning staff is efficient and nice. Desk staff is not performant.

I would rate my experience higher if not for the nonworking safe (did not report), and non working TV, reported and maintenance came immediately to adjust. One bedside lamp has burned bulb (did not report.) My room on the 2nd floor has no view. There is a small bathroom with a deep tub. There’s a rubber ducky in the bathroom to keep! There is no coffee service in the room but there is coffee and tea available in the lobby 24/7, as well as a water refill station. There is no a/c unit in the room but there is a charming ceiling fan. There is also a portable fan and portable heater stowed in the closet in case of uncomfortable temperature. The bed! The bed is extremely comfortable and I had a good night’s sleep. The bath towels are nice and thick. The bath amenities are subtly scented which I like. The staff all around is one of the friendliest in the industry, from check-in to check-out. The friendly bartender Rory accommodated my late arrival for a nightcap. The location can’t be neat, central to everything.
