The hotel offers a perfect stay with a variety of options, although some rooms had lingering smoke smell issues. The staff is friendly and accommodating, yet lacks knowledge about parking alternatives in the area.

The hotel's room at the back is much smaller than a 1-bedroom studio, lacking a comfortable spot to relax, but the street side location made it convenient. The staff were friendly, except for a few lacking customer service skills. The location offered local dining options but had a small room condition disappointment. The dining experience was not to my taste, and the facilities were minimal.

The hotel offers simple, clean, comfortable, and spacious rooms, though some rooms might be very small. The location is central to everything you need, with parking available, though it can be amidst high traffic. The dining options may not suit everyone's taste.
