The hotel was clean, modern, and easy to check into. We were placed on the second floor next to the elevator, which I thought would be noisy, but it was surprisingly quiet. The bigger issue was highway noise, which woke us up during the night. The air conditioner worked well but seemed to run on a motion sensor—once we were asleep, the room would get warm until someone got up and moved, which was frustrating.
There were also several blinking lights in the room from various devices, so bringing a small piece of tape to cover them is on my list for next time. The pool and hot tub were closed for the entire four-night stay, which was disappointing. There was no ice machine on the second floor, but the third floor had one. On the positive side, the second floor did have laundry facilities.
Breakfast was decent and well stocked, the pillows were great, and the bed was comfortable. The bathtub faucet was a bit loose, and our key card stopped working after the first day, but the staff was friendly and quickly reprogrammed it.
Overall, despite a few inconveniences, I would stay here again.

It's a good place to stay for a few days, but if you're working while you're here just be aware you have to pay for laundry, and i'm not exactly a fan of paying for a washer and dryer separately.
