Nice, but not great.
The amenities are just okay, the pool was very crowded, not sure if all of the people were actual guests of the hotel. I chose this hotel for the pool. 99% of the hotels I stay in provide free coffee in the lobby, this hotel charges you. Also, paying for parking and receiving notes on my car everyday (even though I registered with the 3rd party app), was a bit annoying.
