Everything was great! Service was very friendly. Great location to all of the attractions downtown. Only downside was we found ants in our room, not an infestation at all but we did find an ant in our room on four different occasions. Maybe they were due to have the exterminator come? Overall it was a great stay and we would stay there again.

Generally, an OK facility; it's just showing wear (wallpaper, caulking, etc.) and needs renovations. Relatively clean and despite someone on our floor ignoring the non-smoking rule, we were pleasantly surprised that our room was fine and the vent system quickly resolved the smell in the hall. Breakfast was limited, so plan to go elsewhere if variety or dietary limitations are important. The bed was comfortable enough for a decent night's sleep.
