Friendly staff, pleasant enough stay in a nice but worn out hotel close to Powells and good coffee shops.
Pros:

Friendly staff, really nice shower/bathroom.

Cons:

Felt like it had seen nicer days. Not as nice as the photos led me to believe. Window opened only onto an internal system view so it felt like I couldn’t get fresh air.

Galentines Girls Trip 2/26
Pros:

Really enjoyed staying here. It was a great value, it was located near everything, very walkable. I felt safe walking around with my girlfriends at night after dinner. Loved the wine hour with music and the little treats they offer made the experience just a little bit sweeter. The staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend!
