"Because there is a restaurant in the same floor, food smell (seafood) diffuses through the elevator. Other than that, staff was very welcoming and nice. They allowed me to do early check in and helped in any way they could to make my arrival comfortable. Definitely recommend "
"people at the front desk and housekeeping could not have been nicer and more accommodating. For the price we are very pleased. The only downside is that some guests book the room hourly and the people that come with that were noisy outside our door at night. "
"This property was clean and quiet. A really pleasant surprise was the excellent Chinese food restaurant on the premises. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very convenient to attend the US Open. Would definitely stay again."
