The visit started confusing with unclear directions of the pull through check in area for vehicles. However, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the room we stayed in was clean. We heard no outside noise whether it be from the hallway or the next door hotel room and the hotel is centrally located. You can park at the hotel for cheaper than a nearby garage and walk to multiple areas, or if you decide to drive most places are a five-ten minute drive. We would definitely stay here again.
