8.4/10 Very Good! (1,002 reviews)
The hotel was very nice and clean. The only downside is that it doesn't have free parking, and it's almost impossible to find a parking spot on the street outside. The hotel does have its own private parking, but they charge way too much, $55 per day. They should charge less than that.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,005 reviews)
The staff was lovely and I really appreciated the kind and hospitable nature of the hotel. I will say, however, that the room was a little rundown (Ex. a broken cabinet door, discolored lampshades, a glitchy TV remote, and chips on the corners of the vanity). Those are just little things that made it feel not as upscale, but overall I really enjoyed the experience.
