8.4/10 Very Good! (63 reviews)

Check in was easy. Very clean and nicely sized room. The bathroom was incredibly small, which is the only downfall for this hotel. The hotel was within a walkable distance to public transportation. Food options nearby, and a quick 3 minute walk to a Lawson convenience store.
