10/10 Excellent
"Staff was almost excellent, at arrival you are sent an email with your room code ours was 6-8 digits I cant remember but it is also the code to enter the hotel after hours. I was waiting for food delivery and my phone died the lady at the front desk watched me leave the lobby take my food from the delivery guy and turn to come back in and it was locked I gestured to her I couldn't get in and the reply was shrugging of her shoulders as if to say "to bad" I held up my phone to show it was dead and got nothing it took another guy there to walk over and let me back in (very disappointed in that part) other then this one incident the stay was great, the rooms and place all together was clean and inviting and the staff where very helpful at check-in and to give directions to parking Great place would recommend Parking is close about 2 blocks away at roughly $50/day (this part has nothing to do with the hotel)"

Staff were very helpful and particularly Lavinia. It's close to the centre but that also means vagrants but that is not the hotels fault.Overall good location, food was decent and clean warm room.
