EXCELLENT stay NEAR EVERYTHING!
great locationeasy transportationfood varietylengthy process
The location was FANTASTIC for getting around the city. Its proximity to public transportation made reaching all points of interest easy. I enjoyed the variety of food options available right in the hotel, from breakfast to quick lunches. I ESPECIALLY liked the brewpub attached, perfect when too tired to go far.
The check-in process felt lengthy and repetitive. They requested my ID and recorded the ID number. I hope they keep this data SAFE.
