Our room was so nice and spacious. It was clean and had a view of the city. We loved the bar/restaurant area. The bartender was so friendly and really added to the ambiance. There is construction going on across the street but we appreciated that the cost of the hotel was over $100 cheaper per night than comparable hotels in the area.
