Good place to stay for easy public transportation and it was safe. We weren’t able to check in at the 3:00pm check in time because our room wasn’t ready. We didn’t mind but there were other guests very unhappy.

This hotel was perfect! It’s in walking distance to everything you’ll need, including great restaurants, attractions, and transportation. The area is also fantastic for shopping, with so many amazing stores just steps away. Couldn’t have asked for a better location!
