"Check-in took about 20 minutes, and I wasn’t able to check out in person. On my last day, I waited at the front desk for over 10 minutes while I could hear an employee talking with coworkers in the back office. Another employee walked past without acknowledging me, so I eventually left. The room was great and quiet, the bed was comfortable, and breakfast was good. The staff members I did interact with were friendly. The fitness room, however, was very small and had only treadmills or bikes, with no weights. Overall, the stay was good, but the lack of attention at the front desk would probably keep me from returning."
