This was a terrible hotel. Our room looked like it had black mold all around the perimeter of the ceiling. The room was very damp. The bathtub drain did not work. We left the hotel after the first night.

This is a great place to stay. A little above our budget but we are so glad we made this choice. Parking in the lot next door that is run by the city. But it wasn't too expensive. We were able to walk all over the city without much effort. The Central Market is only a couple of blocks way.
