Jason United States of America

The location was great - in walking distance to all the sites as well as countless restaurants, convenience stores, and public transport. We were happy with the size, cleanliness and comfort of the room; the bathroom was roomy and the showered great water pressure. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was across the street at a nice restaurant called Rabble; and if you have dinner there, you get a 20% discount off of your restaurant bill. .

Donna United States of America

The staff at this hotel were AMAZING. Every single person we encountered was warm, friendly, and helpful. It was so nice to be greeted with a smile whenever we entered the hotel. The room was immaculate -- the cleaning staff did an amazing job. The sheets were clean, the towels were folded, and there were no weird hairs or stains. The breakfast at Rabble was terific! Lots to choose from and a friendly waitstaff. We basically pigged out every morning.

Jennifer United States of America

Large room with a loft was perfect for our group of 3. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast at their partner restaurant was fabulous. We loved the ambience.
