9.2/10 Wonderful! (537 reviews)

The location was amazing.. Very walkable to downtown. The room was large and the beds were comfortable. Could be a touch cleaner, just vacuuming and cleaning the bathroom floors a bit better. We would stay again since the cost is low and we can live with a little dirt for a night.
