Staff is usually awesome and very helpful. Unless you get the mid eastern lady. She is very rude, not pleasant to talk to. And didn’t want to help me with one dollar exchange for quarters. So if you get her good luck. Aside from that. It’s quiet. And 5 star hotel compared to the super 8 a block down

Check-In staff is great, the morning house keeping lady would not stop knocking until you answered - though I had to yell through the door that I didn’t need service. The bedding, pillows, upkeep, and cleanliness of this hotel is what I would expect to see in a brothel; motel like at best.
