This hotel is modern for young people. We traveled with our family which wasn't ideal for this hotel but worked for the night. Although it was a pet friendly hotel they hardly have anything that makes traveling with a pet convenient. The only place to take your dog to relieve itself is the park across the street which was fine during the day but not safe at night. Also our room was on the street side which was incredibly noisey from the cars but luckily it didnt go on into the night. Overall the room was nice, clean and the bed was really comfy.

The room was clean. Very comfortable bed and pillows, lack of small amenities such as coffee maker and microwave. The surroundings of the hotel were very noisy and uneasy/unsafe feeling due to homeless beggars and witnessing deficating outside the hotel. Lack of parking which forced to pay a high cost for valet.

Loved this hotel

We loved the roomy bathroom and the decor of the room. The king bed was the best of our 10 day trip. It was very quiet with a great vibe. The frig was fully stocked. We would definitely stay there again.

Loved the property! Loved the staff and the room. Only down fall finding a trash can to put my cigarette butt was a journey. I’m a smoker but I don’t toss my butts anywhere but the trash. Also the rooms need bigger trash cans or one in the elevator area to throw trash away. Only complaint

Comfy beds!

We had a great stay. The beds were so comfortable - like sleeping in a cloud! The pool was loud but luckily closed fairly early so we could sleep.
