Overall a good experience. Clean room, comfortable bed and pillows, good water pressure and heat in the shower, and friendly staff. Only wish it had a mini fridge in the room.

Kensington Olympia
We were arriving earlier than check-in and needed someplace for our bags. Our room was being cleaned when we arrived and we were allowed to leave our bags in the room and were given the key. When we returned for the night, the room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.
