Good value for the money
Very friendly front desk. We stayed in a renovated room with comfy beds. Common areas have a distinctly 70s vibe. Kind of cool in its own way. Free parking is a definite plus.

Room was very clean and staff were excellent. We had a problem with being able to turn down the temperature. Maintenance showed up quickly were unable to fix it as was later at night. They provided us with a fan which did the trick. Great location for the botanical gardens and metro stops.

From the start everything was great, staff was very pleasant, the room was perfect. 10/10 recommend to a friend! Water pressure in the shower could be better, but the typical with most hotels.

It was really bad due to the continuous noise throughout our stay. We barely slept!!! There were some events and people who could have been told to keep quiet, but they continued until dawn….. I wouldn't go again!!!!

It’s nice!
It was okay! Not bad. Felt uncomfortable sleeping on the bed and we changed the room temperature to make it colder too but it didn’t work. We were sweating all night. Other than that, the stay was fairly good and hotel staff are very kind and timely hospitality.
