The room was very utilitarian. The beds were extremely comfortable and the best thing about the property. The bathroom was small but adequate. I would recommend this for business travellers but not for family stays.

I was on there one night but it was a great night. Check in was fast and easy (which was great because I was pretty tired). The room was nice and clean. But most importantly, it was quiet. The neighborhood was good. I walked across the street to the Japanese restaurant and got a great meal to go. Plenty of towels and complimentary coffee and water in the room. The bed was great! Lots of pillows (non with the Catrina skull like in the images, which was fine 😉). Definitely staying here again.
