The only problem I had with my stay is the $35 a day parking fee. I understand the hotel is in a popular area in town but parking should be free for guests. No other problems. Friendly staff, clean room and great breakfast.

Comfortable stay in a great location

My husband and I had a great overnight stay. Our room was clean, the beds were firm but not hard, the A/C worked well and kept the room nice a cool even in the middle of July, and we were never bothered by noise from other rooms. We definitely had a quiet stay, and we both agreed we’d enjoy staying there again.
