If you are looking to stay in a condo type setting, this may be your spot. I checked in which you need to go through a process that takes 15 minutes, (do it before) and they automatically add a $25 per night fee for their gym and roof top. This was NOT published on Hotels.com or any other site. A total rip off as this is not a spa. There was no housekeeping. Checking in took 15 minutes in which there was little to no Wifi, so I had to go do this outside (crazy?). Do the check-in before you arrive! There is no lobby, no where in the hotel to hang, no vibe. You are literally staying in a condo and have to exit the building and walk a few blocks to be anywhere. Maybe this is the new hotel experience, but for me, I still like some ammenities. The room was fine T
