"Hotel is very centrally located and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I would say the look of the rooms were a little outdated( think early 1990s). Super clean. If I were to leave any suggestions would be for a better direction to the parking garage….prior to arrival. Frost desk help was very friendly and super nice!"
