DONT LET THE PRICE FOOL YOU!!BEWARE BEWARE...DID I SAY BEWARE!!!

Overall the hotel was OK. But they charge $15 per night separately for the parking only, which if you include that to the nightly rate you will see at the end you pay high rate par night for the room. ADD $15 to the hotel rate while you are reserving this hotel.

Good one night out

Pros: Clean room, nice bed, good deal for the price. Minor cons: TV was out-of-date. The charge for parking was not included in the advertised price and there was no avoidance. The hotel bar's interior design needs an overhaul and the Vodka should not be served warm.

Good location for shopping & dining

Room was comfortable big with nice bathroom. Missing a refrigerator, flat TV-screen and overall update of the room. King-size bed was really comfortable.

Not too fancy; a very good deal

I was attending a conference nearby, and registered too late to get into the conference hotel. Picked this one for convenient location, reasonable price, and good reviews. It was a perfectly fine place to sleep for four days, which was all I really wanted. Two minor complaints: the Internet was kind of slow, and I had to pay $12 a night for parking.
