We had the worst night of sleeping EVER at a hotel. The only rooms available when we checked in were next to the elevators. The front desk staff said they turn the elevators off after a certain time at night. Nope! They ran all night long . The bed vibrated at least every minute or two from the elevator running up or down. Horrible night of sleeping. Which is sad, because we thought the hotel was rather nice.

This was the ideal stay. I had a work trip that had me in town for no longer than two days and this hotel hit the mark. The room was clean, it was quiet and the beds were comfortable. There’s not much more I can ask for. The only thing that was a bit sketchy is the doorway you walk through between the hotel and parking garage. It’s old and spooky, but nothing terrible.
