Location was good—once you found it.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Said parking on website but it wasn’t directly at the hotel and you had to pay for it. You have to bring luggage down sidewalk to get to hotel. Small sign, had trouble finding the property. Room was super small. No a/c but did have Dyson fans that kept us comfortable.

Comfortable accommodations in the center of everything
Pros:

Location was great and the room was very comfortable. I caught a chest cold the second day there and the staff were very helpful pointing me towards a nearby clinic and pharmacy. The room was comfortable enough that I didn’t mind resting there for a day while recovering.

Cons:

Nothing
