A motel with modern features
The property wants to go over modern luxury but the only thing that is modern is the room. Sometimes to modern is a bad thing. There is no service besides valet and maintenance. For there suites living conditions was basic. They have a restaurant that is only open for 5 hours a day. They don’t serve breakfast and they mini bar is only inviting for drunks or individuals who like over priced water. The bathroom was nice but taking a shower was one of the worst experiences I had in my life. You had to be extremely flexible to even enter the shower but the water temperatures go from extreme cold to warm. You basically have to stand in one spot to take a shower no moving around is allowed.
