The room was clean and mostly as expected. The air conditioning unit wasn’t as cold as I like and I spent the majority of the night awake. Someone from the front desk came with towels at 9:30pm. We never called or asked for them so that was weird. Awkward!

The property was very close to the downtown area and the bridge. Awesome customer service and staff, but could use some more comfortable beds.
