"Definitely a secret gem! Totally unassuming on the outside, and an amazing luxurious surprise on the inside. Close to absolutely everything, Transit is right there, and there's even a laundromat like a 3 minute or less walk away. The gas station and Corner Store beside it is open 24/7, and just a little bit farther away throughout several other stores and food options. The lower star rating makes no sense to me because this place is top notch! "

"For the most part good. I would return. But I came early and checked my bags. Room was not ready and that’s ok. I was told they would call me when the room was ready. Should have been at 4 I did not get a call. So I showed up at 5:15 and the room was ready. I asked why they didn’t call. They were puzzled then said I guess your room wasn’t ready. Then in the lounge we ordered boneless wings. There was a dead ant on the carrots. That turned us off enough to not eat there the entire time. Good...
