Great location and easy parking! Front desk staff were friendly. Bed was comfortable. When I booked this hotel my main priority was location. I wanted to be very close to downtown. Can’t really get a better spot than this. My only suggestion would be to upgrade the TVs. Would have been nice to connect my Netflix.

The room was extremely noisy- we could ear noise coming from the hallway, from the lobby/dining downstairs and from construction in rooms close by. I also wished it was clearly indicated that our room did not have an outside window when we selected the room. We are disappointed in this booking.

Other than no fan in the bathroom, the room was comfortable. It was close to the restaurant and check in so the noise carried a bit. Otherwise it was a lovely stay
