Overall, the hotel looked very nice. It was also nice that our room had a kitchen. I did have to switch rooms when I first checked in because the first room had dirty bed linens. The manager, who was very friendly, was very apologetic and immediately switched my room. I would also mention that the mattress was not very comfortable and you could hear street noise very clearly.

This is a newer hotel that is not being maintained very well. The room was not clean. There were crumbs on the nightstand and the floors had not been mopped. Staff was friendly. I was glad I was only staying one night.
