Overall, the hotel and staff were wonderful. The air conditioner is our only complaint. It was set to 62, but never came close to reaching that. It was blazing hot outside and a felt like a humid 70 in our room.

Very nice hotel in a convenient area. Easy to get to and easy parking. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. We were on the 4th floor facing the street and sometimes the street noise was quite loud. But not so bad that it disturbed our sleep or anything.
