the location was acceptable, close to many attractions.
the room was indeed small. i nearly tripped over my suitcase every time i moved, and the bathroom was so cramped, turning around seemed like a yoga pose. plus, i paid extra for the view, but it mostly overlooked a brick wall.

Compact and Convenient Stay

The location is GREAT, near many central amenities. The staff were friendly and helpful during check-in. I found the early check-in and luggage hold to be AMAZING services. This made my arrival and departure very smooth.
The room size was definitely a challenge, especially with luggage. It was quite difficult for two people to move around comfortably in the limited space. I had to be very organized to avoid clutter.
