  • Catherine from United States (9/10)

    Friendly and helpful staff, easy check-in and check-out, clean rooms, comfortable bed, and able to control heat. Considering the location, quality and cleanliness, the price was just right. The rooftop terrace is a nice place to sit and eat take-out food. I would absolutely stay here again! I liked that the water and soda included in the fridge were not an extra expense. It’s a short walk to a CVS pharmacy – a few blocks – to buy more water, snacks, etc.
