Great hotel.

I was really surprise at how much I liked staying here. The staff was very kind, it was very clean, comfortable, safe and conveniently located. I loved that car was parked in a locked garage adjacent to the building and not in a open lot somewhere else. It’s not the most exciting location but if that doesn’t matter to you, the good thing is that it’s very convenient. There’s gas stations, restaurants, Target, 4th street and access to the freeway all within reach. My only concern was the layout of the shower in the bathroom (in my room, not sure if other rooms had this issue). If you wanted to get your shower going (to warm) before stepping in, it appears you couldn’t. The sink appeared to block access to the knobs. You have to get in and then turn knobs and get shot with cold water first. The next time I showed I figured out I was still able to slide the glass door open to at least turn the knobs, slide it closed and then get in the other way. So it ended up working out, lol. It was just awkward. However, I’d definitely would stay here again. :)

This hotel was exceptionally clean. The only quibble I had with my stay was the scent of the toiletries, which I found unpleasantly sweet. Also, one of the bottles wasn't working properly.
