The location was very convenient. I walked everywhere with easiness. The staff was awesome and they got my room ready early. I took my dog with me, and this was not a problem at this hotel. I was so happy!
The bathroom dont appear fully clean upon my arrival. I found some little hairs all around the space. I alerted the front desk. There wasn't breakfast served. The water pressure in the shower seemed poor. These things bothered me.
