Acceptable Stay, Some Issues
convenient locationold mattressessmall tv
The location was very convenient for getting around.
The room was quite run down. The old mattresses were not comfortable, and there was no refrigerator. I also found the lack of space difficult, especially with luggage. The small TV was barely functional. It generally reminded me of the place hadn't been updated in a long time.

I found the location perfect for exploring. The room had a comfortable bed and a good-sized shower in the private bathroom. A/C worked well in my room. The room remained quiet despite the venue and location.

The hotel has a great central location. It was close to many attractions. The staff were genuinely fantastic. I found the jazz club to have solid food. I also enjoyed the amazing service.
The internet was not very good. It kept falling during a call. The hallways and carpet were old. The room was fine, but the hallways need updating. The room, bathroom, and bed felt small.
