"It’s a great location and the staff were AMAZING!! I had a couple problems (not related to my stay and the front desk were so kind and knowledgeable. The rooms are basic, clean and comfortable. They have a great breakfast on the 6th floor with an early-bird discount. The neighborhood is amazing: restaurants, bars shops. The Cathedral only a couple blocks away- transportation is a breeze! Such a walkable city and public transportation is excellent!!"
