The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. It was convenient to have breakfast available, but since only valet parking was offered, it was a bit inconvenient to come and go freely—I felt bad constantly asking the staff.

Outdated, kind of dirty. The room had a shower with no hot water or water pressure , toilet made a weird noise when you flush . Awkward set up of the room, tv and bed weren’t aligned , etc. they also charge you a fee for valet when the website says free. Awesome location if you want to deal with subpar rooms and an atmosphere of 1995
