Where do I begin? Cons: It’s a hotel/apartment, and the parking is $50+. Once you enter, the place has a distinct smell of an old building (9 hours later, the smell is still stuck in my nostrils), with the scent of age baked in. The room was a hole in the wall and decent, yet creepy because the door was a glass door with gold curtains, reminiscent of those you’d see in a detective's office. Save the money and find another place.

This was actually a great location and a very clean place to stay in. The parking is valet or you can park yourself in a superset parking lot for a bit more. The rooms were great and spacious and very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.
