Onsite Restaurant

“Location is a mixed bag, central yet troubled; the realities outside the front door temper any enthusiasm for the area's conveniences. Inside, expect something more akin to basic lodging than a polished hotel experience. However, I noted the free airport shuttle adds unexpected value for budget-conscious travelers seeking to explore the nearby Theater District.”
