"The location was great, the beds were very comfortable, and we felt safe in/around the hotel. The valet service was also fantastic. Great water pressure in the shower. We enjoyed our balcony. Only complaint: our room with a balcony faced a street that had noisy trash pickup every morning at 6. 😊 ..."
