This is a great place to stay if you are on a budget but still want your own room. I like that it’s kind of out of the center too. The staff is wonderful....they let me store my luggage long term while I did a couple tracks and I left my tablet behind and they took their time to ship it to my final hotel so I’ll have it back before I leave. Awesome!
