Honestly, this place is a no bells and whistles, good stay. Room was small but not too small, with a TV, fridge, and AC. The bed was a little firm but not uncomfortable, and the people at the front desk were extremely helpful and nice. It’s in a really great area as well. Very solid stay.

Horrible. Wires sticking out of the walls. Fire alarms covered with masking tape. Room light hanging by a wire up against the wall. Floors in the bathroom were dirty. And non-stop banging from construction. It was so bad that I did not feel safe staying there and opted to get a different hotel for the night.
