My stay was amazing! There was only one hiccup where the shower overflowed into yhe bedroom but other than that it was an amazing stay and I plan to return. I love how clean and cozy it was. The front desk representative was also amazing!
Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025

6/10

Front desk staff were very friendly and courteous, but the hotel itself is definitely not 4 star. The kitchenette floor was sticky, the TV remote felt grimy, only one body towel in the bathroom, etc. The finer details are what separates the best hotels from the average. Not much attention is paid to details here. Plus I object to the policy of openly welcoming the general public to use the bathrooms. That said, I slept comfortably.
