This is an older hotel but the price acknowledges that. It’s not upscale, but it’s nice and every staffer we came in contact with was friendly and courteous. Having a decent restaurant in house was really handy. Lots of places to eat all around but crowds/lines and lots of $$. We enjoyed the food right here then went on adventures!

Every big attraction was about a 15 minute walk. We walked everywhere for two days. Loved the area. Room was clean. No complaints. We didn’t check out the pool or any amenities so can’t speak on that. We did parked down the street for half the price of parking at the hotel - only thing is at the hotel you can go and come from the garage, where we decided to park there was no reentry but we were okay with that since we walked everywhere.
