Excellent location, friendly staff, but broken lighting fixtures made the room very dark, making the hotel room feel much older. Beds were stained, with an odd scent that further contributed to the old feel experience.

Not like - the room furniture was a wreck. Shower stall rotted. Window frame totally janked. Generally the facilities were waaay below expectations for almost $300/ night. Coffee bar in lobby was sad looking and the food was bad.

The man at the reception was wonderful, but the parking was awful (under construction and we got stuck getting out). The room was a bit shabby, but ok, until we tried to sleep. Every time the air system came on it sounded like a medium sized rodent was scrambling around inside the system. It woke me up about every 1/2 hour. Could not wait to check out!
