Clean room and comfortable beds. Loved having a full size refrigerator. Staff was mostly kind of rude with the exception of 1 or 2 people. It is under construction so one of the elevators is down and the only working one smells like cigarettes. There is no breakfast at this location or pool, but they do have washers and dryers. Overall a good place to stay
