"The hotel itself was clean and felt very safe inside, which was a big plus. One highlight was the valet parking service and the Tesla charger, which worked perfectly and added great convenience to my stay. While the area immediately outside the hotel was a bit sketchy, with a noticeable presence of homeless individuals, it still felt reasonably safe. The location didn’t take away from the excellent value I found in the price of the room. Overall, I was very satisfied and would definitely stay...
