The location of the property was excellent. The worst part about room 213 were the beds they were terrible. They need to be replaced. They all sag into the middle. The bathrooms have cobwebs in them. The air conditioning was loud. I also noticed the certificate of inspection for the elevator was expired.

The location is great. The bar across the street is loud at closing. Close to everything. Beds were average. This particular unit was very run down. Worn carpet, peeling “ leather” furniture, scratched table, lamp without a lamp shade. Really just stayed for the location

Location. Location. Location.

The location is supreme. Right in the heart of everything. Loading and navigating luggage is difficult. Parking is inconvenient. Breakfast is minimalistic. The staff worked hard to compensate. In our room (double beds), one bed was sunken in the middle for some reason. The room was cheerful with nice views.

Any room facing the main street will be loud in the evenings on the weekends as the hotel is next to belly-up and the line forms right next to the hotel entrance. If you’re a light sleeper, probably not where you want to be. However, the views from the top floors are fantastic. Pick your poison. Other than that, great spot and highly recommend.
