the location was convenient for exploring the area. it was near restaurants and public transportation. the staff at the front desk was helpful. the king-sized bed provided a comfortable sleep.
the bathroom was quite small. the shower head seemed outdated and difficult to adjust to a stable temperature. noise from nearby restaurants sometimes disrupted early nights.
