It was a nice place to come back to after exploring the city.
Pros:

The property was in a good location, pretty close to a few cool museums, good restaurants, and at the center of a lively nightlife. Room was nice, clean, and comfortable.

Cons:

Parking was a bit confusing as there is no onsite parking, but there are a few good places to park not too far away. The hallways are a bit narrow and the windows of our room faced out into an alley and a wall, which while it made me laugh was a bit disappointing considering how nice the city is.

It was an ok stay
Pros:

It was close to everything! The rooms were quiet for the reasonable time. You had to use your key to get in so it felt safe.

Cons:

The vents must be shared/connected because we got the smoke from whoever was smoking weed the whole night.. I probably got contact high. The pillows were hard, like the down comforting was old. I was looking forward to a soft comfy bed and pillow like described on website but not the case at all.

Pros:

Slept good at night.

Cons:

Had to ask for a day pass to a local gym for any swimming or sauna or weight lifting. Was hard getting DoorDash to deliver to hotel cause there was a lot of traffic
