Be prepared to pay 11 dollars to park in the only parking garage every time you leave your room. Be prepared to pay an extra 50.00 per night for incidentals.

It was very good. A microwave in the room would have been great as well as a working ice maker on our floor.

Parking was very convenient. The room was comfortable. The bathroom was a bit beat up, the faucet didn’t drain well and there was no shower gel. The location is close to the main street in the downtown area.

We booked a second room for a relative and the hotel had NO RECORD for the booking (although my credit card was charged $243.35). We are requesting a refund for that amount. We booked two double beds but received only one double. The electronic key to our room did not work and had to be repaired by staff.

Property is in need of updating. My room was fine, but the common areas showed many signs of wear. Breakfast buffet cost $15 per person and was exactly equivalent to complimentary breakfast at other chains. My room was next to the elevator and I could hear it rumbling up and down.
