"Very clean and well-maintained hotel in a busy part of NoMa. The staff were very helpful and the amenities were nice. Be forewarned that parking is not included and can be up to $55 dollars a night and there can be some homeless people wandering around late into the evening in front of the doors. Other than that, very much enjoyed my stay."
