What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and especially appreciate the in-room kitchens and full-size fridges, perfect for longer stays or prepping for a night out. The friendly staff and reliable WiFi get frequent praise, and travelers highlight the quiet location as a major perk after a high-energy event.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury property, so you won’t find fancy extras like a pool or spa. It also lacks daily housekeeping, which some guests miss during longer stays. A car or rideshare is helpful, as it’s not in a walkable downtown area—but that’s also what makes it so peaceful.
