was very good!
comfortable bed short taxi ride breakfast spot friendly staff
The beds were very comfortable. I slept soundly each night! the location suited me well for visiting attractions. a breakfast spot across the street was certainly convenient. i also found the staff helpful and courteous.
The valet parking filled up quickly, but i found a safe and cheaper parking garage just around the corner. I made sure to take my receipt.
