Great location, close to everything. I got the family group with 6 beds and 2 bathrooms. The interior looked like it just got renovated, very clean and nice. The exterior like the hallway and the lobby need an upgrade. The food court in the basement was a plus, so many choices and everything was delicious,such as the fluffy pancakes (no need to get on long lines at other places). Definitely would stay here again.
