Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
It was clean and staff was friendly but this was very bare bones. This was a pretty basic hotel room except for the big tub, which we didn't even end up using. Felt it was seriously overpriced for the quality/value. After tax it was over $200. It was on par with hotels I've stayed at for half that price. Would not stay again.

The location was perfect! Right next to all the shops and restaurants, super walkable. The room was very clean. Super comfy bed and nice space. We stayed for a night and had no complaints. An attendant is in the lobby 24/7 which is super nice if any issues occur. Easy check in and check out. Free parking. Overall, 10/10.
