Perfect!
David greeted us with warmth and we had just driven 8 hours, so that was truly appreciated. The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom lighting was great and the shower had great pressure. Great stay! Had a delicious brunch of Falafel Wrap and my son had a delicious Chicken Wrap.

Nice staff, hard bed
Friendly staff, valet was reasonably priced, less than $50 (there’s a parking garage across the street if you want to self park) we were tired so we did valet, good location, clean, a few homeless but we didn’t feel unsafe. Restaurants & cafes nearby. The bed was rock hard & lumpy. I barely slept because my bones hurt from the mattress & the room was sparse from empty spaces where dressers & maybe a chair was at some point.. it was weird.. we didn’t unpack because there was no place to put our clothes.
