The location IS great, near many restaurants and stores. My room overlooked the finish line for the marathon. Staff members were very friendly and helpful with directions. There is a convenient parking spot for quick check in.
The double bed was a little small and slightly uncomfortable. It affected my sleep. The bathroom lighting wasn't great for shaving.

i found the location excellent, very close to many attractions. the subway station across the street offered easy access to different parts of the city. a mass transit shuttle was also just a short walk away, so it was easy to get around.
The room was quite small. It was difficult to move around freely with luggage.
