Property was very friendly and allowed us to have early check in. Area is a little “rough” but we were able to find parking right outside of hotel. Located not far from the railway public transport that took us right into the city. Clean and comfortable rooms. Would stay again if in area.

The staff was great. Room was fine. The $522 per night charge, taking advantage of weather delayed travelers was a bit excessive. A modest upcharge, say $100 more than regular rate would have been fine. But this was obnoxious.
