I would highly recommend this hotel. The only issue we had was that there was not daily cleaning. I actually never saw hotel cleaning staff in the halls, but the room and hotel were very clean so I am not sure where they were. The hotel is near so many attractions and restaurants. On the second floor is a room with a pool table, air hockey, and other games which was a nice break.
