It was ok. This was a one night stay at the last minute. Will not be staying here again due to the rooms carpet was nasty and nothing was really clean. Didn't like the surroundings of location.

The hotel perfect! Staff were very helpful, it's in a great location, and the room was lovely. Having the Falls City Market downstairs is just the icing on the cake, it's a great spot to grab coffee or lunch.
