I can't think of anything I didn't like. The staff were all very friendly and accomodating, the room was spacious and clean. The restaurant was very good, although the menu was limited. The food was delicious and service was wonderful. Laundry service was reasonable and it was conveniently located to public transportation, small grocery stores and other restaurants. I'll be going back!

Stayed the night before our Vagabond tour. The meeting point for our tour was at this hotel. The room was great, the bed was too firm for my liking. Otherwise, the staff was super nice and helpful and the resturant was good.
