great location room decor clean gym slow shower parking situation open window
the location, was very great. i could easy walk to everything i wanted to see. my room was spacious and comfortable and i loved the room decor. the gym was well equipped and very clean.
the hot water would take awhile to come on in the shower and this frustrated me so much. one of the windows in the room, it was open when was very hard to close. the parking situation needs a fix.
