Nicely appointed rooms, extremely friendly staff, terrific breakfast options. Unfortunately the location was a little sketchy. I like to stay within walking distance to most of my destinations. This property satisfied that criteria, however I would not have been comfortable walking the immediate vicinity alone st night. Keep in mind this is definitely NOT a reflection on the hotel. Within the walls everything was perfect.

Dance club next door so all the even rooms will hear it till 2am. White noise machine helps, but it's still loud. Tub nozzle looked like it would fall off at any moment. Bug disturbance in the hall at 3a.m., curious how the guy got on the floor if you have to have a room key. They should have called the cops.

Much good but concerns

Appreciated professional, friendly, helpful staff, great housekeeping, tea & coffee in lobby, good shower, comfortable bed, quiet, safe & convenient location for walking & public transit. Appreciated empty frig ready to use & microwave, traditional coat hangers, drain with stopper to wash things out, easy TV, strong wifi, quick elevators. Concerns were coffeemaker not working that took a couple days & several requests to replace, breakfast could use healthier options & an in-room laptop safe would be great. Altho I'd paid the bill in full in advance with hotels.com, the hotel billed me for 2 nites again & then again for the whole stay. It took several phone calls to get them to refund their duplicate charges. There was an odd security guard who approached me after the front desk staff & I had greeted each other one evening when I returned to hotel. He stood a few feet away from me just staring. I finally asked him if everything was ok. He asked to see my room key. There were several other folks who came in around the same time. He didn't ask them for room keys.

We had a great stay of 3 nights. We visited the city and drove to areas of interest outside the city. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean. Nice, comfortable breakfast area also. I'd like to thank the kind employee, Lina-Ana, who asked if I needed anything and how my breakfast was. Everything was well stocked and extremely clean and in order. I would reccommend this location for those wanting to walk to the bar scene. It was very close.
