Property is either new construction or newly renovated. Property is brightly lit, bright entrance with white floor-to-ceiling bright tile and modern blue finishes and accents. Modern lighting and backlit guest counters brightens up the reception area well. The rooms are clean and features massaging recliner chairs. Location is convenient to large retail brands and restaurants. It was a pleasant and comfortable stay.

The room was nice but small. The bed was pushed against the wall so I had to climb off the end of the bed to get out. There was only 1 night table so I did not have a place to put my phone or glasses. There was a massage chair that was nice, but there was only 1 office chair and no place else to sit. The TV only partially worked and we were unable to watch regular channels.
