The location is amazing! The parking is expensive we paid for a parking garage in close walking distance through a third party app. The elevators took a bit since one was down, but it was fine. Free breakfast was average, there were hot options which was nice.
This is a place you stay for location for sure!!

Great location, clean and comfortable
Great location, easy access to lots of fun stuff and next to the event we went to for our stay. Only issue is one elevator is still out of order and it takes a VERY long time to catch it due to the number of people leaving at the same time at check out.

No stairs that were convenient to and from the lobby. Only one working elevator which was sketchy. Bed sheets had too much plastic. Also there were a few termites in our room.

It was in a great location, but the beds were not comfortable and bed sheets had a smell to it. Paid Parking was limited the first night, but got better the next two days. Breakfast was good overall.

Okay for one night I guess
It needs to be updated. We were next to the train and it was very loud all night.
