We love that the hotel was so close to everything! The hotel was pretty old, but everything seemed to work fine. It was nice that the pool was open until 11. We did everything and still had time to enjoy the pool after dinner.

This place is great! The parking garage held water so it was a bit tricky to get a dry parking space. Other than that, no complaints, it was great!!
