Was very impressed with the staff & enjoyed my interactions with Tequila at the front desk. Very hospitable & when my ac unit seemed to not be working, she promptly put me into another room. Maintenance was quick to come and realized the ac was in fact working. Room was very comfortable & the bathroom was roomy & updated. Would definitely stay here again.

It’s an interesting building, train station vibe with mid century modern furnishings. Convenient location. My only complaint is no drink machine or place to buy drinks after 4:30 pm. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean and nice. Liked all the wood accents throughout the room and building.
