The room was clean and cat friendly. The Chinese restaurant across the street was delicious. I’ll try the Thai spot across the street next time. The front desk agent was courteous and professional. I’d definitely stay again!

The staff were really nice and the location was perfect. I stayed in a single room and if was comfortable, but some wear and tear. The shower made a screeching noise when the hot water was on. The traffic noise was a bit loud and the walls are a little thin, but I had my noise machine so it was fine haha. Overall I’d stay there again :)
