"Exceptionally professional and busy hotel. Staff was exceptional and helpful. Only issue was soundproofing, it was very easy to hear the rooms above and below. Good location and street parking was easy, since the garage was small and full. 4.5 stars out of 5 but for the room noise."

"Don’t expect too much. I’d say the hotel is okay; it’s decent mainly because of the customer service and how helpful the staff is. But it needs maintenance and a major renovation as soon as possible."
