There was construction near my room that started at 9am each day. I was so tired and all I heard was banging and drilling. Other than that the staff is nice and It was comfy.

The staff was awesome! Fun to engage in conversation with! Amenities were ok. Gym was severely lacking. One bench and only hand weights with several cardio options. No free breakfast? Come on! Otherwise a pretty decent day
