Overpriced hotel, not many amenities. Staff was friendly however we had some items that were taken/ thrown out of room by the room service crew. The manager corrected the issue and made it right which I truly appreciate. Room was clean but the rooms are a bit noisy. This hotel is located in a good area making it easy to walk to restaurants nearby.
