We arrived at 2:30 am. The woman in the Front was very kind and helpful. Our room was very clean. The breakfast had a lot of options. We used the gym and it was neat and it had sanitizing wipes available.
There is a huge AMC right next to it in case you want to watch a movie and a lot of restaurants nearby.
