We arrived early in the city and were planning to leave our bags off and explore the area. Instead we were allowed to check in early. It was so appreciated to be able to take a nap after the early flight before exploring the city. Very walkable to many areas and the hop free transportation. We used Uber for convenience but there are also many bus routes if one has the time to utilize a bus. We would recommend staying here to anyone and would definitely come back.

The hotel is fairly new so the rooms are clean and fresh- looking. Service at the front desk was super friendly. The full breakfast bar was nice to have (although the quality is just average). Overall a nice stay.
