Great location for my family to stay when they visit me. Their only complaint was the breakfast, it ended too early, and they didn't have bacon when they said they would (not a huge complaint).

Although it is conveniently located to downtown, the rooms are just average. When we arrived, our bathroom sink was totally clogged...something the housekeeping staff should have noticed when cleaning the room. There is a park 1 block away that attracts a lot of homeless. We walked by it to downtown without an incident, but I would not walk there at night alone. Otherwise, breakfast was good and staff was very friendly.
