Good Location!!
Great hotel for its location, close to the palace theater(walking distance) Has a great bar area to relax and unwind in. Had a couple drinks and the soft pretzels. The staff was very friendly and helpful!! The room we had was very nice, a lot of room! Kitchen, sitting area and separate bedroom area. Large bathroom with tub and shower. The breakfast set up was a little crowded in bank vault and took a while for food to be replenished. However everything tasted great! The price for a night’s stay was a little expensive. But over all good experience!!

This property is in desperate need of an update. We will not come back again until a complete renovation has been completed. We will certainly check to see if it’s done before we book again.

Pictures look nice but it’s old and not clean
The room was ok. The bath room was not clean and had mold on the tub and broken/water damaged wall paper. The carpet was dirty. Pillow covers were ok but the pillows smell. The counter did not tell me that the room cleaning is up on request. I did not have a clean room for three days until I found out.

I usually hate staying places where you have to use the valet parking, but the service was friendly and quick and not super expensive. A great option if you need to be walking distance to one of the local venues.
