Great location. Within walking distance to main attractions. Free street parking on weekends eliminating a hefty valet or public parking charge. Staff courteous and helpful. Snafus with breakfast equip (pancake machine) and limited food (no sausage) 30 minutes before end of breakfast (some assumed Labor Day breakfast hours would be same as weekend). Staff brought out sausage but pancake machine was unusable. Overall very nice stay and staff did their best to accommodate.

Stayed at this hotel for 1 night. The friendly and professional staff assisted with accommodating a late night arrival and late checkout. The room was perfect for what was needed. I was conveniently within walking distance of my destination. My goal for a quick and comfortable trip, within economical means, was accomplished.

Parking was a nightmare and made our stay unfavorable. We went to a concert and returned well after midnight and we got lost trying to park in the surroundingparking garages. We didnt feel safe being lost at night in the city. We understand that parking is separate from the hotel but signage or instructions or anything to help would have been appreciated.

Everything was great. Only 4 stars as breakfast was so timed out of items ( coffee, pancakes ) and it took awhile to get resolved. But the cookies in the afternoon were amazing! Hotel is clean and quiet. Great location

Upon checkin we were assigned a room.on the top floor which would have been perfect except when wexwent into the room it hadnt been cleaned so we had to go back down to the desk to get a different room which then was on the 3rd floor. Received an apology but nothing else. Thought maybe they wouod have offered us something for the inconvenience.

New clean and close to downtown

Everyone was friendly and the hotel was new. Clean and convenient to the downtown area. The only negative was the 6am trash pickup every day. They don’t have control of that.

Superb!

We were in town for a quick trip to bring our daughter to college. Hotel location was perfect, almost everywhere we needed to go was within walking distance. The hotel staff was super friendly. Hotel was very clean, smelled good! Our room was clean, beds and pillows super comfy. Will definitely stay here again in the future!
