It was near the attractions we wanted to see downtown. Was woken up early one morning by workers jackhammering the outside brick wall right beside our room. Lots of homeless people on the streets around the area of the hotel but they didn’t both us for handouts.

Hotel was nice as well as staff. 4 of us were staying in the room, they charge extra for this, towels, pillows, and coffee accommodated only 2. With the price of the rooms it would be nice to not have to ask for extras when they are aware of how many are staying in the room.

The bed was king size so A LOT of space and really comfortable. But our room was beside the ice machine and people were going there to talk so we would hear a lot of voices as it was not sound-proof. We could also hear outside through the window. Really nice shower and breakfast buffet.

The walls are paper thin. There was a group of teenagers staying there that were partying up and down the hallways. Our first day there, our room was not made up. We asked for an extra pillow since we were using the sofa bed and there were none available in the hotel.
