8/10 Good
"Checked in and they upgraded me to a suite at check in and it was huge! Very clean, comfortable bed , full kitchen with kuirig machine which was great. The only fault with the room was small outdated analog tv which would have been nice to watch in the evening. Walking distance to sandwich and coffee joints but no vending machines in the hotel to get a soda etc but there is a liquor store next door with no soda so it was a good walk to the cvs store. Hotel was well worth the price and I would stay again but just come better supplied. Daughter had a normal room which had a full kitchenette and she too loved the hotel. Uber rides to all the landmarks was reasonably priced and we used them alot Heads up, you are right in college kids country and the sidewalks are full of them."
