Perfect area. Close by food options and stores. It's a little confusing when you get there. The check in desk isn't there when you wall in the door. You have to take the elevator up a floor to get to it. When doing the pre-check in via the email they sent, they gave an option for turn down service during your stay. You could select "yes" or "no". I selected "no". Personal preference, I just don't particularly care for strangers in my room when I'm staying somewhere. Imagine my surprise when I came back one day to find that they had been in there. (We were there for 3 nights) I guess, don't put that in the questionnaire if you're not going to honor it. Minor to some, but it bothered me. There was a piece pulled up in the shower that covers the drain, the light on one side of bed didn't work, and there were some crazy cobwebs in the top corners of the room. Despite all if that though, it really is a nice hotel. I really liked the security they had in the parking lots and that you had to have keys to get to your floors.

Thin Walls or Loud Guests?

Love this hotel!!! The only problem is the walls must be thin or I must have had loud people above me. I was woken up at 4:30 am and had to call the front desk. And then again at 7:30 am. It was pretty awful!
