Pros (+) The bed was comfortable, and the rooms were clean. It is also located next to Whole Foods, and local transit to get around town.
Cons (-) The rooms were slightly outdated, but still not too bad. They could use renovation. Also, the breakfast was expensive for what was offered (no omelet option).
