Clean and great location

Hotel is in a great location that is easily walkable to downtown restaurants. The hotel was clean and beds were comfortable. The breakfast was less than desirable but typical for this type of hotel. Front desk staff was oddly not at the desk most of the time. Would definitely stay again.

Great stay

I normally stay in much more luxurious hotels and I was disappointed to see it only had a two-star rating. With that said it ended up being much nicer and much cleaner than many four star hotels I've stayed in and the service was arguably better. Very impressed.
