Overall, it was three stars out of five. The room could've been cleaner; I tend to be very picky in this area. I could've pressed the issue, but our time spent in the room was very limited. The property is dated, could use some updating, but feasible. The staff were very courteous and there were no issues at all. The location is great because once parked, you can walk the entire downtown area without having to get out in traffic. If you're looking for a place just to lay your head and the rest of the time is spent on the move, not a bad place to stay.

The staff were very nice. The pool was kept very clean. I loved that they have laundry detergent and dryer sheets for the guests to use the 24 hr laundry room. The room that my friend and I booked was very clean. I would stay here again.
