Our check in was quick and seamless.... the best I've probably ever had for a check in. Our front of house gal was polite, sweet, efficient and informative. Hotel is just a touch away from everything but worth the 8 minute walk. Room is clean. Fridge is cold. Options for drinks in room if you want to purchase.

Very clean inside and staff are very good. The view was not great, as a run down building with graffiti and a lot of trash outside.

Convenient and comfortable.

My boyfriend and I had a two night stay while in town to visit family. Friendly front desk staff and lovely lobby. Clean and very convenient location. Room had heat pump. No elevator and door to access room from outside didn’t always open with room key. Overall very comfortable stay.

Staff were great, but needs some work.

Hotel was in a good location but the noise was a big issue. There is very little soundproofing in the building so we were woken up by the people in the room above us who were not being exceptionally loud. You could hear everything from the rooms around us and from outside.
