Le Saigon Hotel
AC was nice and cold. Hot water was only warm. Not only would I stay again I extended my stay 2 nights. It is a quiet neighborhood but that also means there is not as many places around. Bed was comfortable, and also no bugs.

Windsor Plaza Hotel
For an older hotel, it’s extremely well maintained! Breakfast spread was amazing and the staff well trained. Walking in, I was hit with the smell of holidays past - there’s just nothing like that holiday smell ..
