We stayed for an event at Wells Fargo, it is within easy ewaloing distance and also to a lot of great restaurants. The manager on duty was so nice, he said they were providing a shuttle to the event and I mentioned we wanted to go somewhere else first and he just said, “I’ll take you there, no problem” so nice and accommodating, every other employee was very nice as well. The property was clean and nicely decorated. The parking lot was being redone so we had to park across the street, but it was no problem at all. We will definitely stay again!

The parking lot/garage has been broken for a year, and when things like pride festival and ironman competitions. Parking is near impossible for all guest, at the hotel! It has apparently been in dire need of repairs for over a year. Not to mention the state of the bathroom, the lack of a microwave, and while the hotel had been advertise by google to have a hot tub, they did not.
