Perfect location, clean room and very quiet. Plenty of food options near the hotel and the bagel shop on the ground level was a perfect place for a quick and light breakfast. It is across from Bus Stop #4 so it made it a great location for pick up and drop off for activities around the area. The self service storage lockers for our luggage were helpful the day we checked out. I would definitely stay here again.
