Stayed while attending a conference. Clean and staff were super nice and helpful. Loved the water refill station. There is definitely a lot of street noise, but I travel with a small white noise machine that easily drowned it out. I would stay in one of these hotels again.

The hotel had some nice features and the bed was comfortable. I don't think the daily Amenities fee was worth it. Just seemed to be an extra fee without a commensurate benefit. The room was not visually appealing - very motel vibe - and there was no view out of the window except a brick wall. But the stay was comfortable and I appreciated the water station.
