Check in is...potentially irritating.

Check your email, because checking in here needs an advanced degree...all checking in requires a license and credit card, online and GOD HELP YOU if you don't have the code, because no one else can.

Smelled like wet carpet as soon as you walked in. The room floor looked like they were not mopped/cleaned. The central hair unit was broken to the point that the room itself had an oscillating floor fan. Would not recommend.

I liked the safety of having a door code for my room and to enter the building. The check-in process was very streamlined. The room itself was ok, I wish there had been a safe and a bigger fridge. The desktop fridge wasn't even big enough for a water bottle and wasn't cold at all. The room smelled kinda funky most of the time even once the trash was removed.

Sink design and location outside bathroom made it impossible to wash face or brush teeth without getting floor, self completely wet. Tiny room with 12” of space on side and end of bed. No where to store luggage. Not set up for two people or one person with more than a small backpack. Loud noises from water or plumbing in middle of night woke us. Good shampoos, etc and helpful locker service for early bag drop. Friendly staff. Good location convenient to restaurants, etc. yet quiet.

The vibes of this place were immaculate! The room was small but I didn’t mind. The hotel was very clean and quiet. They do not offer a lot of amenities but since I was only there for two nights, it was fine. Definitely in a great location, there were plenty of restaurants and shopping places within walking distance. I would stay here again.
