The hotel is located in the city center. The only parking option is valet parking. The hotel is in perfect condition and has excellent service.
Christina, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was small and bathroom wasn’t private at all - you could see someone showering while sitting in bed (shower and toilet had glass walls). Hotel was okay overall but nothing special. Bellhop staff members were all incredibly kind! Overall we didn’t really feel safe here at all. Even when loading our car in front of the hotel armed guards moved closer to us seemingly to protect our family. Wouldn’t recommend families to stay in this area. Upon arrival we tried to cancel due to not feeling safe but the hotel wouldn’t let us.
