Location location location. I think that's mostly what you're paying for with this it maybe could be a little cheaper but I thought it was decent being that we booked 1 week before Christmas. This was a great walking distance to the tourist spots. Don't listen to the bad reviews this is a decent place to stay. When you travel you should always be aware of your surroundings this is no more or less than normal precautions you should take. I was quite surprised at how comfortable and secure this was given the few bad reviews. You will be fine. This was the worst I've had with checkin ...it wasn't horrible though- I just like to have my place available as soon as publicized and paid for. We were given the info to check in at 230 even though early check in was 2 and we paid the fee. I would say give yourself a 2 hour grace period for checking and settling in because we had to wait an extra hour and half to get our bags because the concierge was locked -things happen ....they did end up dropping our bags off to our room. It seems a smoother checkin might be something they need to work on given other reviews as well. All in all everything went pretty good in regards to our stay. I would recommend it to anyone needing a quick getaway without breaking the bank. Responds very quick to all questions....very polite and reasonable people hosting. One last thing bring your own bath soap the one there didn't lather lol which usually isn't a problem for me because I normally bring my own soap, of course I forgot it the time I needed it the most. Happy stay!
