Everything was great the only thing we did not like was the lack of access to staff for check in or questions. The water pressure in the shower is too strong need shower heads that can adjust the stream.

A little different from your normal hotel but I liked it. Very clean which is a plus, new and modern. We arrived late when the lobby was closed. I checked in via text message and they sent me the info to access the room. Surrounding are is very nice too.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The property was nice. My only complaint is that’s it’s listed as soundproof and it isn’t. Staff was nice though but no staff after 10 pm.

matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I enjoyed our trip here. It was close to where we wanted to be and the area has great free transportation with the trolleys. So we were able to leave our car parked in the hotel and not have to hassle with finding a parking spot. My only complaint would be that the sink in outside the bathroom was spitting out the water and making a mess. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.
