Great staff

Pleasant hotel, staff members are very helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Only hiccup was the elevator being out of service and we were on the 5th floor! The staff helped with our luggage which we greatly appreciated. It was thankfully fixed the next day. Breakfast was good.

Good hotel

Good hotel with nice staff. The whole hotel was clean and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, you can hear everything that's happening outside your room - lots of doors banging and people talking. The location is good as you can get everywhere easily but the street the hotel is on feels a little dodgy.

Found multiple hairs in our room and it’s not in the safest neighborhood. It is very close to public transportation which is all that mattered to us. The room itself was nice with friendly staff and a nice breakfast.
