The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. As a solo traveler, I felt safe there. The hotel is in a walkable neighborhood where there are lots of restaurants and shops from which to choose. Highly recommended.

I would have given 5stars all around but for the empty body wash container attached to the wall in the shower.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,003 reviews)
Pretty good stay. Heat/air conditioner was really loud in the room. And it took a few hours for maintenance to come fix the toilet. Also it sucked to find parking, your fighting for decent parking with the people that are just coming to gamble.
