the staff was friendly at check-in and check out so i guess that was okay.
I found the rooms a little noisy because of the ventilation system. both rooms seemed heavily perfumed with air freshener, maybe masking mustiness i don't know? the window opened on a noisy inner light well area so it was too noisy to keep open. That's not ideal.

The front desk staff was friendly. I appreciated the valet parking option for $30, removing the need to find street parking. The hotel provided a clean environment. The lobby coffee machines offered free coffee anytime, a nice touch.
Soundproofing could be improved (I could hear some street noise).
