I recently stayed here for a night. It is in a prime location and so convenient. The pricing is also very reasonable for the area, and the service and staff are truly great. However, I feel the rooms can be maintained more cleanly. Specifically, the flooring in my room had old, noticeable stains that made the space feel less clean.
Rest everything felt good about the stay.
Staff were very friendly. The hotel was newly renovated but you could still tell that it was an older hotel. It was mostly clean. The beds and the bedding were very comfortable. The coffee was good. Parking was fine at least ut was free unlike some of the other hotels in town! We enjoyed our stay.
Awesome stay for the price point. Whatever science they put into choosing the bed, bedding, and pillows, they need to teach all other hotels. Moat comfortable stay we had our entire trip.
