the woman working the front desk during my stay was very rude and unprofessional. this left a bad taste in my mouth which was a bummer because otherwise i loved the property, location, and hotel overall. my only other complaint is that the shower area/wall for the bathroom was completely see through in the center of the room so if you’re staying with friends or family they’ll be able to see you shower naked. overall it was nice but i wouldn’t stay again due to poor service and the weird clear glass bathroom area

The hotel is lovely! It is clean, feels very safe, and the staff is wonderful! It is located in a small neighborhood which I liked, but was close to everything with a short 10 min Uber ride. Some restaurants were within a 5-15 minute walk which were very good. While we were there, there was 1 issue with a water pipe. A bit of an inconvenience but did not last more than 1 day.

Unsatisfactory stay

Rooms are untidy, especially under beds- daily cleaning is not up to standard. Gowns and some towels were removed and not replaced during our stay. Parking entrance and exit you need to press and there’s no sanitizer (exposure to COVID) same goes to lift. Parking is not free for guests.
