The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was nice and even let us check in early. The hotel was close to the blue line train which was super convenient. Overall a great stay. My only complaint is the shower head was a bit low and not as much of water pressure as I would like. Not a huge deal but could be improved.

Very nice staff and clean place. I also appreciated the quick and efficient check-in process. The beds are also comfortable and the room was spacious enough for me. My only issues were given the limited dining in the area and the cost of the breakfast. The breakfast itself wasn't horrible, there just weren't enough good options to justify the price. Aside from that, this was a pretty decent hotel.

Does not look as advertised. The staff was great and that as the only thing that was good about our stay unfortunately. We did street parking one day, and it was 10am broad daylight and I was in my rental car getting ready to start driving and I saw someone casually breaking into a car a few feet away from mine.
