And it was HOT despite it being October and cool outside. Like, freaking HOT.

So, I opened the window, only to realize there was construction going on outside my room ALL NIGHT LONG. So, I closed the window, baking in the heat, and could still hear the construction. Loud AF. Ok, so that's beyond the hotel's control. However, my coworker arrived in the early afternoon after a red eye flight, tried to nap and couldn't due to ... hotel construction.

A bargain compared to other hotels. The rooms are comfortable and the rooms were quiet. A great stay.
