Not 5 star but great for the price!

Check-in caught me off guard as it was dine through a kiosk with a gal in Columbia on the other end. Apparently they keep the front desk area.locked which makes it a bit challenging if you're looking for help with anything. The room was satisfactory, although I found the bed situated rather low, but it was comfortable enough. Shower was great - never saw a drain situation like it... futuristic. No problem with parking near room. Hotel is conveniently located. I think they offer free breakfast, but I didn't have time to partake. All in all, it's a good hotel room for the price
