This was a great stat just south of the downtown area. The staff was great, and the room was clean and comfortable. It was quieter than most hotels we’ve stayed in, making it easy to rest.

The initial check-in experience wasn’t the best. As myself and another female were checking in and the receptionist kept insisting that we needed two beds instead of one. It was feeling like there were some underlying discriminatory motives behind his statement.(two women very much, so can sleep in the same bed and it shouldn’t be an issue.) secondly the TV did not work the entire time it kept saying something needed to be updated so the TV was just used to mirror. My phone screen the entire time for entertainment. Other than that, I have no complaints.
