Kensington Prime Hotel
Stayed here before for a solo trip so booked it again for this trip. Was still good overall but noticed how the showers was so difficult to keep water out of the stall even with the curtains (my previous room didn’t have it). Customer service is okay. I didn’t really need much so that’s not too much ...

Great location and exceptionally clean room. Perfect for my stay. The only downside was the last night patrons across from the room and the floor below slamming doors, running up and down the stairs, playing loud music and making so much noise into 4 AM, treating the establishment like a fraternity ...
