Fine. Other than random charges.
Pros:

Great location.

Cons:

Real shady about multiple phantom charges on my credit card that i’m still trying to workout. Tried speaking with someone at the front desk and they were no help. Messaged the property through booking.com. 5 days later and still no response.

Not worth the price I paid. I would’ve expected better service.
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

The lady when we checked in was unable to help us in trivial matters. Also, they offered a free breakfast for my room but they never mentioned the hours so we didn’t even get to enjoy that. Also, we were locked out of rooms even though we extended the checkout time an hour later.

Clean, comfy, and friendly staff!
Pros:

Clean and very friendly!

Cons:

The room was tiny, bed took up most of the space but it sufficed for an overnight stay. If we were there longer it would have been frustrating to have such a tight fit. Parking was extremely pricy. It there’s a lot down the street for 1/2 the price
