Room was clean. Kitchen was new. Shower rooms could have more hooks or dry area to put clothes and toiletries. Toilets were clean and spacious. There is no laundry or it hasn't been installed yet, but the facilities description on Expedia has laundry included. It looks like there is renovation going on.

Great location ... loved the helpfulness of the stuff ... but ... super weird set-up for the rooms since THERE ARE NO POWER OUTLETS in the rooms (just USB slots). This made a bit tricky to use my CPAP machine (which I need for sleeping). I contacted the staff about it, and they brought extension cord ... that I plugged in the outlet in the hall ... so that was helpful workaround (but felt weird to have this extension cord out in the hall in everyone's way)
