I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The room with a cozy bed in a quaint neighborhood was equipped with all amenities, making it a comfortable experience. The service was exceptional, with staff who were super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location, in a trendy neighborhood and conveniently near the light rail station, was perfect for exploring the surrounding area. The dining experience, with bagels provided by a local company, was a nice touch. Overall, a great value for the money with top-notch facilities.
