Great Location, Solid Stay

prime locationfriendly stafffree watersmall room
The location is prime. I was steps from major attractions. The staff was super friendly and always ready to help with directions. I really appreciated the complimentary water and the fridge in the room (very helpful for storing snacks).
The room size was a bit smaller than I anticipated. I found it a little tight, especially with luggage. I wish there had been more space to move around comfortably.

The hotel offered luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, a great help. There is an ice machine on every floor, a nice convenience. A starbucks is connected to the hotel, accessible via a dedicated door.
