This is a very convenient location. Room was very clean. Best waffle maker I’ve experienced at a hotel, actually comes out crispy. Be warned, they are breaking down breakfast right at end time. Only complaint was the room we received. It was the handicap accessible room. Bed was very low to the ground and the most uncomfortable mattress I’ve ever been on. It was unexplainable how bad. My wife had stayed at this location with family before and said that the rooms they were in had nice beds. Not sure if the other rooms have LVT flooring or not, but this one did. It is so much better than walking on questionable carpet. Not sure why all hotels haven’t made the transition. Also, very good Mexican restaurant right across the street. For the price, it would be 5 starts if not for that bed

Good overall value

It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. However, they ran out of basic breakfast items. Overall, it was a good value, and I would stay there again.

Conveniently located, overall a very fair value. Very friendly reception. Complimentary breakfast was good, but oddly there were no forks, and none on hand at all. Would stay again.

Worth the stay

I just needed to crash for a few hours while traveling. This place is right in the middle of downtown and walking distance to everything. The continental breakfast was one of the best. And for the price much worth it

The front desk was helpful, and I had no gripe with the room. My only main issue was that the showers did not have a barrier protecting the water from splashing onto the bathroom floor, making most of the floor wet afterward. I would stay here again, preferably for one night.
