This property was very nice and updated in the lobby and common areas. The room was nice as well, and mainly updated, but had a few things that needed fixing (patch on the wallpaper was peeling off from a repair for example) but overall we loved the spacious loft room and it was well cleaned. Very close to shopping and all the places we wanted to go. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
