The stay was lovely. The staff was friendly. The only thing that I didn't like 100% were the sheets - but everything else was a 10.

2/10 Poor

Room does NOT look like photos. Don't stay here.

The room looked nothing like the photos online. It was like a basement - very little light, but also somehow very loud / noisy b/c it was right off the main lobby. Staff was unhelpful and manager was unavailable. Terrible experience. Don't stay here.
