It was great, great staff, clean and large rooms.
The only downside is noise isolation in the rooms, we could hear a lot of people in the hallway.

Recently renovated, this is a great little hotel in a convenient location at a reasonable price point. The restaurant hadn’t yet opened which didn’t worry us as there are so many dining options close by. Would stay again.
