This is not the first time we have stayed here. Between the other hotels downtown this is probably our favorite place to stay. We found parking the garage across the street, it was only $11. The rooms are spacious and clean, lots of light. Very nice bathroom. We would stay here again and again, thank you!

We had an amazing stay and would absolutely stay again. The beds were comfortable and the facilities clean. The only problem we had was ongoing maintenance with the parking garage leaving the garage to hotel elevator inoperable, which made it difficult to carry a toddler and her gear up to our car for our outing for the day.
