Breakfast was decent, but the real draw here is location and professionalism. Rooms are big, perfectly clean, with comfortable king-sized beds—and quiet at night despite being in a vibrant noisy neighborhood. Highly recommended.

What is the deal with the hot water in the bathroom? Took forever to get the sink hot water to even a warm temperature. Staff, especially angel at the front desk was a delight! Would return just because of her Customer Service level !

A bit over-priced... Shower was not functioning properly, and it was not fixed during our two-day stay. The most important issue was too much noise from the next room having a party for both nights.

The doors to the rooms had a closing mechanism that would slam the door and made such a lout noise. You could hear and feel every door that shut to rooms that were around you. This made it difficult to sleep.
