spacious rooms and great location

great valuemodern designlovely showerquick check-in
I found the price of the rooms and their size to be great value, especially given how central everything is. i appreciate the modern design because many hotels i've stayed in around the country haven't been updated in decades. the bathroom had a lovely shower and the room felt very spacious. check-in was quick. Everything needed for the room can be picked up at reception.
i experienced a minor inconvenience in the laundry room. there seemed to be a limited number of washing machines and dryers available. this created a bit of a wait during peak hours.

The room included a great AC. They held my luggage before check in, it was nice. The front desk hailed a taxi, I was running late. There is a 7/11 about 20 feet away.
The hotel lobby often smelled of cigarettes. There was always lots of luggage.
