Room was very nice and clean. I don’t like that you essentially walk into the bathroom. I don’t like the split bathroom where the sink is outside the shower/toilet area. Very unsanitary and disturbing to those sleeping when other uses the sink, turns on the light, etc. Also, very thin walls. We can here people in the next room using the bathroom.

The staff was EXCELLENT and very accommodating allowing us an early check-in to get ready for a wedding and a late checkout for the morning after! The hotel was very clean. Comfortable beds and pillows. Free breakfast was great, with the exception of those horrible powdered scrambled eggs offered everywhere.
