This hotel exceeded my expectations! From some previous reviews, I worried it might be a little run down or not that clean. I'm in my early sixties, so really didn't want to be anywhere funky. I was pleasantly surprised to find that both the rooms and the common areas are extremely clean and the staff is very available, friendly, and helpful. My room was large, sunny, and comfortable, with a good lay out. I don't love K-town but the block of the hotel is somewhat cleaner and calmer than most other parts of the neighborhood. The price is very fair for a hotel in a major coastal city. I will definitely return.
