A Solid Stay Near the Heart of It All

central location double beds spacious bathroom coffee facilities

The location was GREAT! I needed a spot after checking out of my previous place with a late flight ahead. This hotel provided a perfect, affordable solution. I appreciated the two double beds and the spacious bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities were available, a plus.

The elevators were rather small. Maneuvering with luggage required some patience.

8/10

The hotel featured two small elevators. These elevators moved guests between floors efficiently. Guests can access various amenities. The elevators seemed well maintained, though compact was good.
