The location was great for us. We walked all over the neighborhood and felt safe all places we went. We never used the pool but it looked nice. They also had a nice coffee cafe on site but we only bought bottled drinks. The room was great and the pillows were AMAZING! I actually ordered some for my house they were so good.

The room was clean and I enjoyed swimming in the outdoor pool. Only downside was being in a room right next to the elevator shaft, which meant I could hear the elevators going up and down. Got a good night's sleep despite that.
