Serviceable and clean
This hotel is clean and functional. While the decor is all clearly new and well maintained, the style is a bit dated. Think pastels.
Staff was friendly and helpful. They shut down loud music in the room next door within a few minutes.
Breakfast was not impressive, however neighborhood is convenient. Famous restaurant next door and a great little coffee house across the street.
