Guests say
Guests highlighted the excellent location of the hotel, enjoying its proximity to downtown attractions and restaurants. However, there were significant complaints regarding cleanliness, with reports of bugs in guest rooms, and negative sentiments about the parking situation, which was pricey and only available via valet. The staff received praise for their friendliness and helpfulness, though some guests noted issues with the room size and a lack of free internet amenities. Overall, while the hotel offered a decent experience, several aspects diminished guests' overall enjoyment.
