The room was excellent, freshly remodeled, clean, very well equipped, and quiet. The exterior parts of the hotel (lobby, elevator) are a bit antiquated. Neighborhood felt safe to me. Overall, I felt like it was a great deal for the price, and my wife and I will be staying there again.

I found the rooms to be sufficient. It was located in a convenient, walkable area. There wasn't as much parking as I think was needed, but I still think way better than what you would get at other hotels. 10/10 would come back here
