This was the BEST location! The room was extremely spacious and had amazing views of the city! The staff were very kind and helpful. We were even able to check in early after a long overnight of travel which was wonderful! Can’t wait to return again in the future!

Good location. Very clean. A list of local places to buy groceries and getting around would’ve been very helpful. The beds were not very comfortable, but fine. Great shower and kitchen amenities.
