The room was very clean. Staff was helpful. We moved rooms 3 times due to some internet issues but the staff was very attentive and accommodated all requests promptly. Parking is limited. There is a self pay lot next door but luckily we were able to find something on-site. Decided to stay here last minute, clean, quiet and fairly inexpensive and relatively close to downtown nightlife. Have stayed here before and would stay here again.

This hotel misses the basic hygiene standards, they told me they are remodeling and I hope that they improve in the future because the location is great but the furniture is very old and wasted and unfortunately we saw several cockroaches and bugs. The beds are very soft and uncomfortable. I hate to do bad reviews but I feel a duty to be honest and avoid the nightmare we had in our stay
