convenient locationmany optionssmall drawerhanging area

The location was CONVENIENT to the main downtown areas and many dinner options. It was close enough to the river. It was also pretty convenient that I had the ability to go to a laundromat nearby to wash clothes.

The room was dysfunctional. There was only one small drawer. There was a very small hanging area with five hangers. It's half length and didn't accommodate winter coats.
