  The location was fantastic and after a minute of being on hot, blew out really hot air and would not cool off turned down. Design of the lobby was nice and the rooms were very clean and modern. Adjacent restaurant was good.

  Some of the staff were just unhelpful, maid was very rude and elevators were not always operational. The toilet paper holder was broken and kept falling.
