The first room smelled bad. So we moved to another room. Its an ok hotel but watch your feet. I found a flea on my toe. I don't have pets and no fleas in my home, but I found one at this hotel. The breakfast was ok. But it was a little spendy for what wr got.

We had a standard 2 queen size bedroom and it was a good size. Our stay was quiet and pleasant. I like the free continental breakfast and easy free parking unlike some hotels in downtown. Overall it was good besides the slow draining sink in the bathroom.

In the room next to ours there was a fight that went on for hours. this included kicking on the room door and yelling in the hallway. I made a complaint with the front desk at 100 am asking them to take care of the problem. The person working the desk informed me that they had received multiple complaints already and they were trying to get it taken care. to say the least no sleep for the entire night!
