It's a great hotel in a great location. But hotels should have bathtubs. A microwave would be nice.

This room was just what I needed. Perfect. Small condo. The only problem I had and the reason for 4 stars was the noise. The sound seeping into our room from outside was so loud I thought a window was open. This was a Tuesday. I can only image what it would be like on a weekend.
