Location is great which allowed me to walk everywhere. Staff is also very welcoming and polite
- The windows of the room did not have a screen -it took long to drain the water during and after the shower -couldn’t find the safe box

Excellent location downtown close to restaurants and bookstore. Spacious room, comfortable bed and sheets, super clean. Quiet.
Expensive tight parking (good thing I had a compact car), $36 for overnight. Wish they had a continental breakfast.

Excellent hotel in an excellent location with excellent staff and amenities. A 12pm checkout is a plus! Will definitely stay again!
$36/day for parking is steep, but does include unlimited in-out access.

A beautiful, well appointed hotel with very comfortable rooms and excellent staff.
We had to pay for open, unsecured parking. Also, there were no meal facilities open on the Monday we stayed, including the restaurant that was supposedly available to provide room service.

The room was spacious, clean, and had blackout curtains. The location was excellent, and the parking was reasonably priced with in-out privileges.
I wasn't a fan of the coffee machine in the room.

Rooftop happy hour, staff, room, breakfast area all great Lots of nearby restaurants
Wish they had a charging station for our car, but that's just icing. Parking a little tight and pricey.

Excellent value, good location, professional staff add up to a rare stay.
The hotel is dated, in need of renovation. Many homeless people have taken up spending their day on the sidewalks surrounding the hotel.
