This place isn’t fancy or full of amenities, but it is consistently clean, comfortable, convenient and really good value. I’ve stayed here twice, almost 3 years apart, and it remains a charming option in a busy area full of overpriced hotels. The staff is super friendly and kind. I would stay here again.
