Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room far too small and not fit for purpose. Not suitable for a double bed and it would have been impossible for two people to be in that space. Very difficult to stand in the bathroom in front of the sink as toilet in the way. The room was not cleaned or bed made for a two night stay. Small window overlooked an alley way with noisy ac generators.

My stay was extremely pleasant. The location was great and the ambiance throughout was so comforting. Check in after hours was of ease as the instructions were clear. I had a great 3-night stay. Super clean and the coffee station in the front lobby was very nice.
