Great location! Right in the heart of the funk zone I will say some things: - I read plenty of reviews about the rooms being small. I thought people were probably exaggerating. I am here to confirm the rooms are indeed super small. I was only there 2 nights and with just one other person so it was manageable. - The shower is messy. The way it’s set up, it’s quite impossible to not make a mess. I honestly don’t know who designed it and thought it was a great idea. It was also super tight. I dreaded having to shower during my stay. - Bed was comfy, no complaints there. - We parked in the neighborhood to avoid valet parking fee, but valet parking seemed to be limited. I want to say I would come back, but I’m not sure. The location is great and it was the most affordable option that didn’t look as bad in the area. However, the shower was a huge turn off.
