"Unbeatable value if you're comfortable with a fully automated stay. The property is clean and in an excellent location. The rooms are a bit small, and the included breakfast is just okay. Additionally, there is no visible staff on-site, so you need to be comfortable using an automated system for self-check-in/out and luggage storage. They have a handy vacuum compression unit in the lobby to help you pack your bags. If you don't mind the tech-only approach, it's a clean and well-located budget...
