Perfect location near downtown
"The location was perfect to all the restaurants and shopping. The staff was friendly. The room was cozy and comfortable. The ceiling fan did not work and the french doors did not close all the way. The shower/tub had no space to put toiletries. A shower rack would have been useful."

"I thought I’d relax and watch something my last night there. No signal so no good. Ended up just reading instead. Not a big deal, but would be nice to have when I wanted it. The door to the room stuck so I had to force it open and closed."
