I had a good experience on this visit. I had a few issues with the a/c in the room, though it worked, the air does not circulate in the room well. But overall this is a good place to stay and it is near the Best local Mexican restaurant Tomasita's!!

Value! Included parking. Very convenient to Railyard Arts district where the art and furnishings are more international. Within walking distance to 3 fantastic dining options. Clafoutis, Tomasitas, and El Chile Toreado. Yum!! Bed comfy, aircond worked well. Lol the towels could be softer.

Probably one of the worst managed hotels we’ve ever stayed. We stayed for 8 days, had no room cleaning for 6 days despite requesting it. The morning office person was extremely unfriendly. The location is good, very walkable to local sites. However don’t stay more than one night or you will regret it.
