"The location was good, and parking registration and use were convenient (for a 2-night, 3-day stay, I paid a reasonable 2-night rate. Other accommodations charge 3-day rates).
The 24-hour desk made check-in and check-out very convenient. However, having to go through the lobby floor and alternate between the hotel elevator and the parking elevator was inconvenient.
Amenities are charged separately per night, and a security deposit is required.
Accommodation quality was based on my experience in the room I booked. The bed was comfortable, the refrigerator was larger than expected, there was a microwave, the air conditioner was noisy but worked well, and there was a coffee pot.
The mini kitchen had a built-in induction stove, but it was dead, so I couldn't boil water. The pots were small, and there was no bottle opener.
The lack of ceiling lights made it dark, and the thick carpeting made it difficult to walk in with shoes on, which didn't feel very clean.
Considering all the factors, I'd give it a 4."
