Clean, easy check in and out. Only concern was outside the hotel, lots of homeless people. Didn’t feel very safe so you just have to be very cautious but that isn’t the hotels fault. Everything with the stay was fantastic

Horrible hotel, 0/10

Horrible stay, they have a night club attached to the hotel and music was so loud. Couldn't sleep until 2am because of it. The hotel provides ear plugs beside each bed to help cancel out the noise but doesn't help much. You can feel the music while laying in bed. Stay away if you're looking for a nights sleep.
