We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The food we ordered was tasty and well-prepared. The room was a little on the crowded side, but it wasn’t a major issue since we spent most of our time out exploring. One thing to note is that there are no gym facilities, so if fitness is a priority during your stay, you might want to plan accordingly. Overall, this is a good option for friendly service and good food, especially with its central location.

Very clean, polite service. It was not clear at booking that parking cost $40/day which is fair however should be rolled into room fee in my opinion.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room is as small as a tiny studio. I can’t even walk through when my luggage is open. It’s the smallest room I’ve ever stayed in. Parking is not permitted except for valet service, which costs $40. The street-side entrance was blocked, so I had to drive around to find the corner entrance at the end of the street.
