I liked being right at the beginning of the cable car line, it made the location very convenient for travelling around downtown and seeing all the touristy sights. The room was very clean, i had a top floor corner unit and enjoyed the 5 night stay, would reccomend for the price.

I love the location of the property for a hotel room it was decent. We were only using the room to sleep. I think the only thing I would want from the room is a mini fridge or an icemaker of some sort in the lounge area so that I could’ve had a cold drinks when I got back from visiting the city.
