The hotel was aesthetically pleasing from the exterior to the common areas. The rooms were a bit dated but clean and well stocked. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had a decent cup of coffee (available 24 hours) before I left at 5am.

Disliked: Amenities
Location is great and that was my priority. But if you are accustomed to amenities, etc you may be disappointed. For example, some basic items that need some attention: - in shower never gets really warm and the pressure very weak. - My room window looked onto a brick wall about 4 feet away —- for the price I was a bit shocked that I wasn’t at least warned. - And there wasn’t even a complimentary water upon checkin. - there was one particular front desk employee that had a huge RBF. The others were excellent and made you feel welcomed but the one with the RBF brought the energy down.
