The building is under construction so the pool and hot tub were unavailable. Sometimes you felt rumbling. Also, I had to change rooms because the heat short circuited the first room. Staff were very nice.

The service and amenities here are 200% awesome. The only reason for a less than 5 star review is the bathroom needs some maintenance. Otherwise this hotel is perfect.

Just like many hotels, there were a few items that needed some minor maintenance...nothing serious. A loose door card reader and shower faucet. Everything was clean and in good working order. The staff very extremely helpful and professional. The breakfast had a lot of options.
