6/10 Good

The property and room was great. When i checked in, iwas told the restaraunt and coffee bar would be closed for a few days. it wasnt. We fiund out when we checked out after a 2 night stay. Didnt beung us towels or sheets the second night. A bunch of very addictive ans unhealrhy snacks and beverages stocked to entice people to do unhealthy things so they can make a few bucks. Is it worth it carpenter??? Room was small but really cool. Ac and heater worked great. Private balcony was great. View was great. Pretty noisy area but lots of life around. I was told i had to pay for parking butbibdidnt actually.. only if i parked in the garage. I parked in the parjing lot justvoutside the garage. Which was free. The lobby closes at 11. They literally lock the doors. So if you need towels or something, you'll have to wait til morning.
