This hotel injured my wife and didn’t care
Pros:

My wife was injured at this hotel and they didn’t care at all. My wife and I stayed at this hotel for over two months - we spent 5 figures on the place. A window pane and surrounding fell out of the wall and landed with the sharp part into my wife’s calf muscle. She was rushed to an urgent care facility and currently walks with a limp. The owners didn’t even email us a sorry.

Great location with walkability to surrounding attractions and restaurants. Amenities were a plus.
Pros:

The convenience to the venue I had an event I was attending plus the walkability to restaurants. The kitchen and the spaciousness of the rooms. Parking was a plus too. The staff was extremely nice.

Cons:

Nothing you can control, the location is very noisy from the surrounding properties and the area. The couch can use a bit of TLC or replacing.

Pros:

キッチンもあるので、家族とリラックスして過ごせました。

Cons:

洗濯機と乾燥機１台ずつでそれぞれ4ドルで利用できます。私は待たずに使えましたが、夏など混雑するかもです。

Scam. Do not stay here.
Pros:

Prime location, terrible hotel.

Cons:

Scam. The photos on your site are highly misleading, the hotel was rundown, rooms were shabby, carpets dirty, furniture broken, windows in poor condition. The rooms lacked basics like a safe. Noise was a major problem, we didn't sleep during our stay here. A truly awful experience.

Comfortable and homey
Pros:

This was our 3rd time staying and it’s comfortable and easy to get to. I like having the kitchen, dining and living area for a homey feel while away from home.
