The room was gorgeous and rented at a decent price. In addition , the building has around the clock security. However, we had a major issue prior to check-in where I'd contacted the manager to drop our bags off prior to our room being ready. Upon our arrival, he was nowhere to be found and the available staff knew nothing of the arrangement and refused to store our luggage. We therefore had to bring our bags back to our vehicle and were late for our appointment. In addition, be aware that the building parking lot is not free and you have to pay at the kiosk inside to be allowed to exit. We were unaware of this initially. Otherwise it was a decent stay.
