"Easy check in. Great room view. Clean rooms. AC is a bit loud but you can turn it off or reduce it to low. A lot of construction trucks parked there at night but still spots opened. Just a bit annoying but the guys were very nice and we felt safe (all girls). We couldn’t use the pool sadly like we planned because it was “being worked on”. "
