The location was pretty good.

The WiFi barely worked. I had to go outside just to order an Uber. The plugs next to the bed were terrible. My phone charger kept falling out. I really didn't like having to find the sweet spot just to get it to stick. It's 2024, after all.

The room included two queen beds. This was perfect for three adults. many restaurants were close. I noticed several within a short walk. a whole foods market was just across the street. It was accessible via a short lane. hot coffee was available in the lobby. I found it ready all day and into the late evening.

the check-in process was slow. i also had to pay a $150 security deposit, even though the hotel and rooms seemed quite old.

The location was convenient for visiting local sights and finding restaurants. the staff was courteous, and they provided water and coffee in the reception area. i found the bed and bath linen to be of excellent quality. I really enjoyed that. everything was super clean in my room.

My room was quite small and i did not find it comfortable. it did not have a mini fridge, and that was disappointing. the ac unit was positioned directly above my head while i slept. It was not ideal.
