Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
First from they put me in had a mattress that should have been thrown out 6 years ago. This thing was so far beyond worn it was like sleeping in an inner tube. Then they put me in a second room in which the electricity didn't work near the bed so I was unable to use my sleep machine. Kind of a noisy location as well

Appearance of hotel on the outside wasn't at all what the rooms look like. Rooms are updated and just perfect for the overnight that we were looking for. Close to airport and great value. The woman working at the front desk is great. Made us feel right at home and happy to be there. Thank you! It is on a busy street...not quiet during the day but the evening was fine.

Cozy and convenient location

This was a great place to stay near the university. There's a ton of shops up the street that you could walk to or take the little train to and they were popping on the weekend. Staff was also very chill. Loved it, would stay again!

Great but noisy

The staff and accommodations were excellent. Everything was spotless and clean. The decor was postmodern and unique. The rooms could use soundproofing as the sounds from the outside kept us awake.
