Overall, I had a mixed stay at the hotel. While the staff was genuinely caring and willing to help, which made a tough situation more bearable, there were some significant drawbacks. The location is convenient, but the handling of amenities left much to be desired, coupled with the smoke issue near the entrance. Additionally, the ADA room situation was frustrating during my check-in experience.
