We love this hotel and stayed here a few times, staff are fantastic and we love location, walking distance to everything including nightly concerts at town square, only request is I wish they had a recliner instead on a chair, us older folks don’t always watch tv in bed.

This hotel is nice although the flooring in the rooms is very dated. Not a deal breaker but would be nicer if updated. We like we can walk to the square. Fun times!
