Many options to purchase food or go out to eat are within walking distance. The bed was horrible - it was time to be replaced. Extremely soft and you would roll into the middle of the bed. It was terrible. Both beds in our room were in this condition. Also, there needs to be better signage out front when parking to check in. The sign currently there states its for Uber or Lyft pickup or drop off. If one inadvertently goes in the driveway for the parking garage (which is a $30 per day charge) you cannot get in without a keycard. When trying to backup and park on the street, you will scrap and possibly damage the underneath of your vehicle due to the way the driveway was built unless you are able to a 3point turn. Very difficult!! More information regarding parking at this location needs to be communicated to those deciding to stay here

Its great location next to Old Town made walking through that area—with plenty of dining options—fun and convenient. It’s a very basic hotel, however, with average breakfast foods. Our room was fairly dark, and the mattresses felt old—the kind you sink into. The rubber on one arm of the rolling desk chair was partially missing.

I have to admit I expected a bit more as far as the room for the price we paid, almost $400 a night. We did not need an ADA room, but we wouldn't have cared....except the ADA room #141 is right next to a access door from the outside to room nubered in the lower 100's. It was very noisy all night with people entering and exiting through that door, which slams shut. Also the AC is quite loud and the room outdated. Even with the location being in Old Town, it was overpriced for the quality of the rooms. It reminded me more of a freeway offramp Super 8 unfortunately.

No regrets! Great place for families

I booked this hotel based off previous positive reviews, and I’m glad I did! 5min walk to old town, so many restaurants and shops, absolute vibe. My kids loved it, we didn’t get to try the pool! But definitely at our next stay here, complimentary breakfast was good! Coffee was delicious.! Staff was more than helpful, the rooms were clean! The beds were very comfortable, only thing is that they do not have free parking on the property. They have underground parking below the hotel and that is $30 a night. Which I don’t think is fair to charge PER night. Maybe a $30pass for your entire stay would be better. But that didn’t bother or affect us because we found front parking on the street. Luckily. But overall great stay! Great staff, great location, will definitely be back
