United States, March 2024

7.4/10

I had a decent stay overall at the hotel. The room I got, despite having a connecting door to another room, was clean, but the view of a neighboring building's brick wall wasn't exactly inspiring. The service, however, was top-notch with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient for my needs, although slightly later compared to other hotels I've been to. The dining experience was just simple, and the facilities met my basic expectations.
