The hotel was terrific!! Very helpful staff. The check-in process was a bit of a pain. But would be a lot easier than the second time around. I would recommend staying there anytime.

The location of this Kasa is awesome, walking distance to restaurants, whole foods, and dunkin donuts. Room was clean and spacious. Love the white noise machine! All the comforts you need! Love the remote checkin, security and smart elevators too. Only downside, no room service.
