Although I was a little confused looking for the lobby because is it is really on the second floor, I had a wonderful stay. The place was really clean and smelled great. They are really pet friendly.

Oh, I love the place. It was very up-to-date. Aesthetically pleasing only thing is you can hear the people above you walking other than that. It’s a great location at the restaurant. That’s really good across the street. Me and my best friend is definitely booking again.
