Service was friendly, property & room were clean. Hallways were a little dim. Smell was just a little musty. Not offensive, but a little better ventilation would probably cure it. Breakfast area was roomy & nice, food on par with similar properties. Parking cramped but adequate. I’d stay there again.

This would be my 2nd stay here and it is still great as the first one. I appreciate how easily accessible the hotel is to park, to get to restaurants literally a walk away, and not a far drive to the convention center. The employees were also wonderful in assisting our accommodations. I definitely plan to make this my go to place to book.

We were in a great location, close to where we wanted to be. Staff were fabulous. Breakfast was included but options and taste were limited. Free parking was a bonus.
