Super convenient and accessible to lots of restaurants and tourist attractions. The room is clean, as well as the whole building! And wherever I go around the building, it always smells good (even in the basement parking area, lol!) I recommend trying their breakfast wrap, it's so good! The staff are nice and very helpful as well. Will definitely come back here.
