    The location was pretty good. Easy to walk to places I wanted to see

    The air conditioning in the room was broken upon my arrival. I informed the front desk and I was told that the issue would be corrected by the next day. It wasn't. My entire stay was without air conditioning, making the room very uncomfortable.

    spacious room
    comfy bed
    luxurious towels
    no breakfast

    The Superior Twin room was super spacious and really comfy. The bed and pillows felt plush. I loved the luxurious towels and high-quality toiletries in the bathroom. Plus, the quiet vibe in the back of the hotel was a nice touch. It even had a mini fridge! No major complaints except I wish I had booked breakfast, it sounded awesome.
