pleasant stay with attentive service

public transport coffee amenity firm bed
i walked to many attractions including the white house and fords theatre the room had nice amenities like coffee and water the beds were firm i really appreciated the attentive staff. the location was excellent for seeing popular sites. the hotel offered easy access to public transport and nearby restaurants. the room was quiet and quite spacious.
the on site restaurant closed for dinner weekends which was a total inconvenience i explored nearby dining options. no room service was available then. the elevators looked dingy and smelled musty which gave a feeling of neglect. i felt a bit uneasy using them.
