"Great location which was close to all the restaurants and seeing all the spots downtown. We didn’t eat here because we wanted to experience local foods. We did have drinks on the rooftop bar which had a great view. Parking was easy for $25 a day which is a great price. Staff were friendly and hotel was clean. Our room didn’t face the street so it was quiet but the only thing was that we would have preferred a non handicapped room. It felt a little cold. I highly recommend this hotel!"
