My only complaint was the traffic noise we heard from the 4th floor. For the price of the room, we shouldn't have had as much. Hearing cars literally racing on the highway at 2 am was not much fun. Other than that, the staff was awesome and the room clean.

Very nice hotel, located in a great area near walkable locations for eating, sightseeing, and shopping. The room was nice and spacious, bed and pillow got a 8/10 for me. Breakfast was included with the booking which we took advantage of (it was pretty good and filling). You do have to pay nightly for parking if you choose to bring your own vehicle or rent one (I think it was $28 a night). Overall, I had a great experience and the staffs were respectful and kind. I was happy to see they had Dove products in the bathroom. This was the first time I used a hotels bathroom bodywash.
