mixed experience with some issues
bathroom design poor signage
the room was clean, certainly a plus.
the bathroom design was odd. the sliding door had a huge gap at the bottom, offering little privacy. the parking garage was a nightmare, with zero signage and dead ends everywhere. it cost $63 overnight. it felt unsafe, especially in the unlit areas.
