"The Lyft from the train station was $28-33. All front desk staff performed good customer service, answering all my questions. I used the laundry machines but had to download an app for a single use. In trying to use the pool, they were un-filling and re-filling it the hour I wanted to swim, between about 2pm-3pm, and so it was closed that hour specifically. The room the pool was in was nice and warm. The bed was comfortable. TV channels didn't work very well at all, but if you have subscriptions you can sign into, that'll solve that. My room had a full-size fridge, 2-burner stove, small kitchen sink, and dishwasher. The shower had hot water. Toilet's flush wasn't super powerful. Soaps provided were all in dispensers and all Dove herbals."
