The place itself was clean. Some stains on one towel or I would have given higher cleanliness. The staff was nice. Felt safe. Walkable to many downtown eateries and theaters. Parking was super easy and it’s right off the interstate.

Good for only 1 night. Very noisy, seems as if the walls are paper-thin. Doors let in a draft and noise as well. Breakfast is very limited. Location is the only plus here.
