Good location, as it is by our daughters studio apartment, but the air conditioner was loud, the TV didn’t work, outlet in the bathroom was not functioning and the bathroom door was difficult to open and close due to backwards hardware.

The staff was accommodating but the building was not secure and the elevator remained broken the entire time. The floors in the lobby were sticky and dirty. In the end the manager refunded us for a night.

There was a roach in the bathroom on the counter. Also, the toilet roller was broken. The mattress was not comfortable either. The breakfast tasted bland and rubbery ( eggs and bacon).
