I found the location excellent for exploring. Public transport was nearby, with trains and light rail readily accessible. Plenty of dining options surrounded the hotel. Patty's Markets were recently renovated and featured a nice selection of dinner vendors. It was only a short walk.

The room's lighting was dim. It made the room look dark. Even so, I managed to enjoy my stay.
