Hotel Stanford
"Great location, amazing helpful stuff. The building is old, so you should be prepared for some issues: the shower has low water pressure, and the toilet clogs easily. However, the hotel staff responds quickly and is helpful. The beds are comfortable, and complimentary breakfast is included."

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS
"Fantastic location. Very small beds, like child size. Definitely upgrade. Vape detectors in room as well. That’s on me I guess, but got a $500 fine… sooo as much as I paid to stay there basically! Water vapor does NOT compare to actual smoke but I get it. Rules are rules."
