Check in poor - after hours bell not answered, some other guests thankfully let me in. The safe was not locked and everyones keys were just sitting there for anyone to take - not very secure. Room smelt stale and dank Shower floor was dirty and dusty. Lamp did not work Overall not what I would expect for $449 a night. Would not recommend.
