fantastic hotel near everything

comfy beds great location easy walk complimentary coffee

I had a superior queen room. it gave ample space for my family. the beds were very comfy. the location is great. I could easily walk to many restaurants and shops in the neighborhood. the bus stop for the airport express was just a short walk away. the complimentary coffee in the morning was a lovely touch.

the rooms felt a bit worn. the bathroom especially could use some updating.
