10/10 Excellent
"Great location if you want to be near things within walking distance. Rooms were clean and it was fairly quiet in the area. Having the coffee shop attached to the hotel was nice. You get a free coffee and breakfast sandwich with your stay. Staff was very nice and check in was a breeze."
