    This property is EXACTLY what a budget traveler needs it to be - a VERY good bed in a clean room. No more. No less. The property is very clean. The bathrooms and shower (shared) were SMALL but clean and acceptable. The staff was great. And of course, its hard to beat the location for that price. But if you are expecting anything extra, you'll be disappointed. For the budget traveler, it was great. I'd gladly stay there again.

    I absolutely adored how the room was setup! Amazing use of a small space that didn’t feel small. Very clean, modern, trendy and comfortable! Perfect location. Loved the $30 credit to use every day. I was able to get breakfast and lunch to go from the next door cafe and that made my stay even cheaper. Felt very safe. Hotel staff very accommodating for an early checkin (5am when my flight landed) and this was for a reasonable fee. Would recommend to family and friends for sure!
