My previous stay I was charged for snack items that were never touched which was unsettling & a hassle to get resolved. This stay I took pictures of the snack area when I arrived & as I was checking out. I would strongly advise people to check their account statements for miscellaneous charges. Also, their "loyalty program" is non-existent. Both reservations & hotel management take zero ownership for perks they publish online. Otherwise I find the hotel conveniently located & comfortable for a quick stay.
