Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
The room was tiny and cramped. The new decor felt old to me. And the vent in room 207 squeals and makes other crazy sounds when you turn up the heat. Also if you are looking for the thermostat it's behind the pocket door for the bathroom!!! Weird place. We couldn't locate it at first had to call front desk and ask. It is overpriced and underwhelming to say the least.

It was noisy on Saturday night facing the main street. My beef is with Expedia--it charged me more than the hotel would have in a direct booking. Not happy.

the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but very small. No dresser or great place to hang clothes. Heat/AC was very noisy. Hotel itself was a cool building. The parking lot was dark at night and being downtown was concerning.
