Does not look as advertised. The staff was great and that as the only thing that was good about our stay unfortunately. We did street parking one day, and it was 10am broad daylight and I was in my rental car getting ready to start driving and I saw someone casually breaking into a car a few feet away from mine.

Good location and price

Staff was really friendly and helpful. Pretty clean and seemed to have been remodeled. Protesters at 5 am right outside were disturbing but outside of the hotel control. They did let us know about it upon check in at least. Overall felt safe, no bugs, decent price. Close parking for a fee. Convenient location.
