I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, and the cleanliness was impressive. The location was ideal, especially since it was close to the event we were attending and convenient for transportation links, making it easy to explore the surrounding areas. The staff was helpful and provided us with all the necessary information for local eateries since they don't offer breakfast.
