This hotel is in a prime location, and has in its building two fabulous restaurants! The staff is attentive and courteous, especially Eddy at the front desk. The rooms are dated, but the value cannot be beat. I suggest staying at this hotel and will do so again in the future myself.

Hotel location is awesome. Room was clean. Parking wasn't great. Has to park a block or so away. Ended up paying $22 for the parking. Due to event parking $10 then an additional $12 the next morning. Hotel is very old and doors are very thin. You can hear anyone that comes by the room.

Generally clean room, but we did see a couple of German cockroaches in the room. No parking which isn’t ideal. No breakfast. Overall a pleasant stay though.
