Room was good - clean and well taken care of. Water could be hotter in showers. Noise level behind rooms was a bit loud. Parking is tricky and at a premium thus the $25 daily charge.

Rooms were clean, staff were not super nice but helpful when needed. If you are a light sleeper stay away! It is extremely loud, the walls are paper thin, there is a bar of some short right behind the hotel and the music playing is loud and you can hear it word for word. The window coverings are part sheer and let in a lot of light at night. The best part about this hotel is it was walking distance to EVERYTHING! It is super convenient. The beds were comfortable as well.

Room was clean. Hotel is right in the middle of everything so a very good location. It’s an old hotel but they’ve updated the rooms. The linens could use updating though. The sheets were thread barren and had holes in them.
