Great location within walking distance from our venue. Easy access to downtown restaurants. Parking is off site about 2 blocks. $10 for 3 nights. Friday nights during the summer they block the street the hotel is located on which made parking and unloading a bit harder but the music was good, I could not hear it from my room, and it was done by 10pm

This is a very conveniently located hotel. Self Check in was easy. Our bathroom toilet had a problem and we reported it-it was quickly fixed. The one interaction I had with staff was very good. She was very helpful. There is a lot of street noise in the evenings and breakfast vouchers are only for one day even tho we stayed 3 nights.

Staff was very helpful. Able to get an early check-in. Very clean and large rooms. Bar and restaurant was closed because they do not have any business in there. Front office staff said the previous restaurants/bar dropped out so they’re looking for a restaurant/bar management company to come in. Good location right downtown. if your room is by the streets, be ready to hear a lot of yelling and loud noises when the bars close. Very easy to hear everything outside and we were on the third floor.
