9/10 Wonderful! (4,787 reviews)
"We loved the great location in the center city. The hotel has self-serve espresso, coffee, and filtered water available 24 hours for guests. The room was small, but very functional for a couple that is not spending a lot of time in the room. The sheets and beds were comfortable and clean."
