The hotel is really beautifully decorated as it has a great mix of mid century modern aesthetic with a classic vibe. The hotel room was smaller than I expected, but great for just me on the trip. Overall great experience, also don’t forget to get the breakfast package.

Modest and clean, makes excellent use of space in the room, comfortable bed, sweet shower. Two blocks from the train, half an hour from the airport (via transit or car). Incredibly affordable, especially for the area!

Very lovely lobby and clean. My room was small, a very tight fit. Shower is super tiny. There's no ice machine and no items for clothing care like a steamer or iron. It would've been helpful to have those things, but I'm glad the property was very clean and everything worked well.
