It was a good experience overall but there are some stuff you need to be aware about. You need to call Sunny on the phone if you want to talk to someone otherwise the lobby might be empty. There are no elevators on the property so if you’re leaving your luggage because you can’t check in yet, be aware of that ( you have to carry everything up the stairs, we left it for about 3 hours and none of our stuff was compromised ) Other than that, the location is nice.
