The room was very clean and modern for an older building. The beds were very comfortable and room quiet considering how close we were to train tracks. I was surprised I did not hear my neighbors which was a bonus. The Staff were very nice and efficient during our check in. I felt very safe and comfortable walking to dinner which was close by. The surrounding neighborhood was older but very well maintained. I would recommend and definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

Expedia should make proprietors aware of customers' specific requests so they can be responded to appropriately. We were disappointed our ground floor request couldn't be fulfilled and settled for 5 steps up at the rear.
