comfortable but small

The room was small but the king bed was comfortable. There was a bath tub and shower which I love. It was quiet except for the bridge traffic. It was centrally located and close to everything we needed.

Check in was fine people were polite. Found a bed bug on us after we left. Staff essentially blamed us for the bugs. We are extremely clean people and don’t have bed bugs at home. Would not return.
