This is an older part of town and so is the hotel, but it was a good place to rest. The neighborhood has may intriguing eateries and shops.

Wonderful stay
Staff cheerful, courteous and very helpful
Breakfast Buffet was outstanding the best I’ve had when traveling

The staff members were all very accommodating and friendly. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The area had lots of restaurants within walking distance and it was an easy drive to the hospital where my son was admitted.

Will continue to stay at his location with great staff and amenities. This particular was off with renovations going on in hotel. HVAC in room would not work properly and assumed it was with ongoing work.
Clean, friendly, talked to the front desk staff to pinpoint down the restaurant for our night out. 5 stars!! We came in for a concert, the staff was knowledgeable about the area which is always a plus. Helpful and knowledgeable is the benefit! Thanks

The staff were extremely nice and the room was modern. The only negatives was a dirty sofa and the reception/bar area was extremely cold. A lot of windows in a very cold climate.
