The staff were absolutely amazing. So helpful for me and my family. They stored our bags all day after we checked out, hailed a cab and helped with separate reservations with ease. I had a hard time sleeping with the pillows the hotel had, but other than that the room was perfect and liked having the door to the bedroom along with a living area/sleep sofa. Would definitely stay here again!

The best part about this hotel is the location! It is close to everything, the mini kitchenette was convenient. The beds are very comfortable too. It took twice for me to get them to fix the blind that was no shutting down. The staff was very friendly.
