8/10 Very Good

Not bad
Check in was a little complicated. There's afternoon hours where there is no front desk person. I had to pay for my room still so I couldn't check in until I did. Trying to pay through their app was horrible bc the agent was taking 15-20 minutes to reply to each message. Luckily a front desk person showed up and helped me with my payment. I got in the room and didn't know I had to use a specific pod. I just took one that seemed unused and reset. They told me later I took someone else's pod, we ended up just switching. Just make sure you get your room number and pod number to avoid the confusion. It was comfortable in the pod. The chargers in there didn't work. Also, you aren't allowed to bring food or drink in.
