No 24/7 room service, but vending machines and nearby eateries cover late-night cravings.

Nightlife Options

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the on-site dining options are limited, especially if you're after a midnight snack. Also, while the location is convenient by car, it’s a bit out of the way if you're relying solely on public transport.
