central location cute staff natural light slow elevators dated equipment confusing layout
the location was perfect, it was so central. the staff were always smiling, it felt so cute. my room had such lovely natural light. it made everything feel fresh and airy
the elevators did seem rather slow, there was often a wait. the gym equipment looked a little dated, i wished there were newer machines. i found the hallway layout slightly confusing, it took me a while to find my way back to my room

Solid Stay Downtown
attentive staff comfortable beds convenient location
The staff was attentive at check-in. Our room was a good size with comfortable beds. The lobby had complimentary coffee and tea available throughout the day. The location was perfect. I walked to most places I wanted to visit. It was a practical spot near main attractions.
The elevators were slow, which sometimes led to longer wait times.
