The room was very cool. It had a beach motif that included lighting behind the bed and the blackout curtain. It was clean and very spacious. There's a separate sink area and even a Keurig machine, in addition to the coffee and breakfast stuff in the common area. The staff was all pretty friendly.

For the price, the room is nice and clean but it felt stuffy in the room. The walls are thin and we could hear the neighbors talking loud past midnight along with the air conditioners, which made it impossible to get a night’s sleep. The area is nice and they have breakfast.
