Great location and facility

The hotel is a bit dated but the renovation was well done giving it a good vibe. It also offers clean water, coffee and cookies. The location is very convenient.

This hotel is in a great location and it is considered a small boutique hotel. The entry way is beautiful but once your in the hotel it seems pretty outdated and only area that looks to be update was the lobby check in area. There is no restaurant or even a snack area which majority of hotels offer. Eve

Great location and nice property overall, be advised bed is very soft - why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I was sinking into the bed a bit more than I like.

Very very clean! Staff very helpful. Close to public transportation, easy check in. Would stay here again with no hesitation! Would love it even more if it had a continental breakfast and/or vending machine BUT I knew it did not offer that before I booked it, so we made a Walgreen’s visit for breakfast bars. Excellent experience. Bed and pillows very comfortable.
