The room is very clean and modern. The front desk is very friendly and helpful. However, this is one of the noisiest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. I could hear my neighbors’ conversation almost word for word. The Amtrak train is half a block from the hotel and you can hear the whistle and tracks until 10 pm ish. The restaurant under the hotel blasts music and has tables on the patio, so you can hear patrons conversations.

The staff were wonderful and very helpful. The hotel was perfect for me and my husband centrally located near restaurants and shops and near the Amtrak train station which is how we traveled. My only draw back is the room was not as clean as it could have been. The valances on the windows look like they had never been dusted and the bathroom/shower needed better cleaning.

I parked the car myself and drove it out of the parking lot myself, so there was no point in valet parking.

It was very noisy. We couldn’t sit on the patio because there was a big dog barking in the room next to us where the guests were gone there was no soap I had to call and have them bring some to the room.
