Not sure if it’s booking through Expedia but find when I do, the hotels assign me rooms in the basement? The room was a shoebox, and walls paper thin. Could hear people beside and above. I would stay in old town for more closer options of places to eat and shop

This property checked all the boxes for us. Convince to all forms of transportation, walkability, and to top it off the staff here is the literal best. I’ve worked in hospitality for many years and the staff here is too tier. They happily answered all questions, they were able to give easy directions, they helped us make reservations and helped us feel more than comfortable in the city!

Wonderful staff. Went beyond nice to help us celebrate on our trip … helped get ground transport, chilled a special bottle of wine for us and answered all kinds of questions. My only complaint is that the room was for three, but that meant the sofa was made up as a bed and no one could walk in front of it as it ran up against the desk. Additionally, it is difficult to get luggage to the ground floor because the elevator doesn’t go there.
