Convenient location
"Very close to Clinton blue line if you plan on taking public transportation. Quiet hotel with roof top pool. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our only complaint was how tight the bathroom was. For a family you couldn’t fit more than one in the bathroom to get ready at once."
