Nahhh

There was very little hot water. I had it running for a couple minutes before showering and it started off mildly warm and the got hot for about 30 seconds and turned completely cold. The bed was hard as a rock and I could hear the neighbors tv.

I really, really needed sleep but the room was so loud (I was put on the side facing the street after requesting a quiet room) that I couldn't catch any zs. Pretty disappointing. Otherwise it's a low end hotel. Ok but not the sort of place that you'd want to hang out in.

The property is what it is and ideal for business travelers. I found it to be clean, everything functioned well, I had no issues at all with internet or noise. It’s a 2 star property with 5 star management. Everyone is so nice and accommodating, from management to the domestics. I had to extend my stay a few times and I was accommodated with no issues. The staff is present and that adds security to the location. It was by mistake I booked here, as I tend to stay in more upscale properties, but I truly appreciated the personal consideration that the entire staff demonstrated consistently which made extending an easy decision.
