Very clean, comfortable. Furnishings and room in very good condition. Windows were of very good quality and when closed, you could not hear the busy street noise right outside the window.

We arrived late and were able to let ourselves in with the key left in the lockbox. There was no one there when we checked out, so we left the keys in the Dropbox. This arrangement was fine with us because we did not need anything, but if traveling alone it could have been a bit unsettling.

Was a great stay, only downside was staying below very noisy people who were stomping & making heaps of noise until 3am which disrupted my sleep as i had to drive 4 hours to get home that morning. Other than that, it was great and id definitely come back.
