Room was clean, rooftop, pool, and sauna was a great spot to relax. The convenience of walking around underground in the winter to get to stores and restaurants is genius! Check out at noon too! Only issue was we have a large truck

A little out of date and outside lights were all working. But it was just we needed for a stay at Mayo so I was happy with the kitchenette and the lower nightly rate. They also let me cancel a night when we got discharged early
