    I found that it was grossly misrepresented by the photos online. The place reeked of stale cigarettes covered over by air freshener. My friend's room looked out onto a graffiti wall and the toilet in her bathroom was dirty. We checked in but never ended up sleeping there.

    Attentive staff always prepared to assist the traveller. The suite was rather large being a bedroom and a separate living room.

    Rooms are showing some age and need updating

    comfy bed
    spacious bathroom

    The bed was blissfully comfy, and I adored the spacious work desk and bathroom. The room felt so secluded, like my own little retreat! Plus, the digital safe kept my secrets safe from prying eyes.

    I nearly became a local legend for my dramatic exit via the stairs!

    outdated decor

    great staff but room could use some updates

    The staff made check-in easy with their friendly demeanor. I felt well cared for when they efficiently helped me retrieve my forgotten bag from the valet.

    The room, while spacious, felt a bit outdated in decor.
