Rooms were clean, however furniture in rooms was pretty old and dingy. You can tell the hotel is older but seems like they have done some upgrades in bathrooms. The staff was awesome! Michelle was extremely sweet and accommodated our request to another room when the people above us with kids were too loud. The location is fantastic and close to a lot of venues with much to do.
