The entire property is amazing. The staff however go above and beyond in every way. When i first checked in i was having difficulty understanding the tablet climate control in the room. The supervisor on duty took the time to come up to my room and walk me through the entire process. This is but a single example of the amazing service they give. I was there for a week and everything from the common work area to the breakfast spread were above and beyond what i expected. 5/5 would highly recommend.

10/10 great stay! I would come back again and would definitely recommend for solo travelers. The room was clean, comfortable and very modern. The hair dryer was also a nice surprise since it was more modern than most hotels tend to use. The staff was very friendly and helpful! I always looked forward to coming back to my room at the end of the night.

Fantastic experience as far as the property and its staff is concerned. Dropping one star only because the periphery has significant number of homeless people especially in the night which can at time feel unsafe. Very friendly and supportive staff overall!
