“The location scores points, placing guests near downtown's diminished bustle, a coffeehouse, and Canal Park; staff are helpful, especially when it comes to addressing immediate concerns. Despite ongoing construction, the property stands out for its accessible kitchen. In my opinion, it's a practical choice for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize location.”
