Really enjoyed my stay. Only thing I would say is tv options are not that advanced. Adding access to Netflix and other subscriptions on tvs wound elevate the experience

This hotel is located within walking distance of stores and the historic sights. A short ride from the Amtrak station made it ideal for us. The staff were courteous and helpful. We were on the ninth floor and the traffic noises were tolerable. We would rebook here in the future.

The Staff at the front desk was very nice and welcoming. I stayed there for two nights and nobody cleaned the room, picked up the dirth towels or made the bed for my second night stay. Also the TV channel selection was abysmal.
