Loved our stay here, the room size was just perfect for us and the food court beside the hotel was a big plus.
Rooms was very clean and well organized. The location was perfect for our trip. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful…will be my first choice when traveling there again….
Loved this hotel! Great location across from the Gallery Place metro station, tasty cafe, and AMAZING bar downstairs. The room was small but cozy and the bed, bedding, and pillows were all SO comfortable. This was the perfect home base for a weekend of sightseeing.
Great place at a great price in a perfect location for anything at CapOne Arena. It is a micro-hotel, so if you are traveling with someone, you should be very comfortable with them!
Check in was great, by two very friendly and helpful women.
Room was clean and comfortable.
Area around the hotel had lots of stuff to do, and had good bars and restaurants.
