    Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and well cared for. The property was a bit dated and in a busy residential/commercial area but overall, for what we needed (a quick convenient place to stay for a short event) it was great. Prices are high, but that's expected for this area. I would recommend this hotel.
