The hotel is clean and nice looking. Staff was great. Breakfast was decent. The downside is the quality of bedding and location. Sheets and pillows are very scratchy and the coverlet texture is awful. The location isn’t great. We felt safe but lots of sirens could be heard late into the night.

Tasha

Initially the stay started well. Check-in went smoothly the amenities were as expected. And then I got bit by a bed bug around 11:30pm. I was able to squish and kept the bug to immediately show hotel staff. I asked the hotel staff for them for assistance with this issue and they stated that the only thing they could do was for me to leave the hotel and they would refund me or inspect the room and get a call from the manager the next day. They refunded my money minus the $150 hold on my debit card that would need to be released
