The sliding barn doors for the toilet were less than ideal. It didn't create a lot of privacy. However, the location more than made up for any inconvenience. We loved the location right in the middle of all the activities. We also really liked the water availability with the bottle filling station on our floor. It was a very easy and free way to stock up every night and put it in our refridgerator so we had easy access all day the next day.

Right in the heart of it all! The room was great and so spacious! The front desk so kind and accommodating! The only downfall is no parking around the hotel. But they are very upfront about that and the 3 garage options they give are fairly priced and not far. You can park and not need the car until departure! We walked to everything we wanted to do very easily!

Can’t beat the location! Room was clean. We had a view of an alley and brick wall but we weren’t in our room much. Staff overall very nice and helpful except the night we checked in the person wasn’t the friendliest. The water stations on each floor were great to refill water bottles. Separate bathroom from the shower area didn’t offer much privacy. Overall quiet at night, beds were comfortable. Off site parking but they did call the night before to give us suggestions for places to park (3 minute walk).

The hotel is in the perfect location, right in the middle of Essex Street. It was easy to walk around the entire down town area and felt completely safe for my sister and I. The only thing is that because it is so centrally located, it definitely is noisy into the night and early in the morning, but for the location, you can’t beat it!
