The location was perfect for a trip to the Altria theater. The hotel was very welcoming, clean, and confortable. We used the restaurant twice for convenience. The menu was rather limited, but food was good. Would like tea for a choice in-room, and coffee available in lobby.

It was fine after we got the second room. The first one did not have the beds made, so we had to go back downstairs to get a different room.
