It was okay, but it had a stale kind of smell. But overall, not bad for the price

Sentral Gaslamp Quarter
The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and had a great view from the balcony. We came to go to the baseball game. It was only a few blocks away which made it super convenient.
