The room was clean and situated in a convenient location. A lot of the historical sites are walking distance. Those that are farther, no problem, the metro is very near and well the rest is being able to fit time in order to do all the activities that you want.

This hotel used to be nice. It is now overrated and overpriced. The location is great but the rooms and furniture are less than what you would expect. The valet parking was not well received and you can’t charge the cost if the valet to the room. It’s a pass for me next time. No thank you!!

We stayed over a weekend with family and were disappointed. This place could use a renovation. Our room wasn't ready, even when arriving after 5pm! The room was slightly smelly, warm water not always warm, air conditioning barely working, windows screwed shut. Stay away!

Joe at the front desk was amazing for our check in, we had a terrible experience at an air bnb and needed a room ASAP with early check in and he got us in with no questions asked. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the entire stay was over the top. 10/10 cannot recommend enough.
