Overall the facility is very nice and the staff was welcoming and friendly. The room was also in good condition overall and the space was fantastic, with both sleeping space but also lounging/work space. TV is awkwardly placed for viewing and doesn't swivel. Only real complaint was the condition of the bathroom. The tub ceramic was "rusty"/stained and the ceiling paint above the shower was flaking off. I'm guessing the fan doesn't vent adequately. Other than the bathroom condition, the room was good.

Very disappointed in our stay. The bed had dark hair all over on the sheets when I went to get in it for the night (everyone in our party has blonde hair). We moved rooms which was less than ideal at 10 pm. There were garbage trucks of some sort of constant beeping from 6am to 7 outside of the hotel. The hotel itself has a great vibe and is super cool. Just the cleanliness and loud noises ruined the stay. Not how I wanted to ring in my 50th birthday. :/
