Great location. Short walk to shopping and Old Town. Our room had high ceilings and big windows, and was larger than what we were expecting. A/C was great and staff was wonderful. Parking is somewhat problematic as it is off site at a nearby parking garage, but you’re able to get a discounted rate which was greatly appreciated as we were here three nights.
