The room was sooo clean! I also loved how secure it was. You need a key card to get into the building as well as to the elevator area. And if you arrive before check in or have a later flight in the day they have lockers you can use for your luggage. The staff was super friendly! We will definitely stay again !

I really like the location — it’s excellent and close to everything! There are so many great restaurants in the area. However, my experience was disappointing overall. I paid for a private room, but the bed was very uncomfortable and there was too much noise. The bathroom exhaust fan didn’t work either, which made things worse. The receptionist wasn’t friendly at all, acting more like a robot with no personality. With such a great location, I expected a much better stay.
