Staff was great! Location was awesome and felt very safe! Room was clean. Room was also facing busy streets so it was noisy late into the night. Earplugs were provided. The first night the room was too warm, so they provided a fan the second night which was a win to cool things down as well as drown out the noise. The bed was really hard…
