Room was pretty clean and cozy. We only stayed one night. We got a parking spot in front (lucky us) because the lot was packed. We walked around the area to grabs drinks and food and even to the casino nearby. 9/10 stay.

Although billed as a downtown hotel, it was not a place one would walk from. It met our needs, but is nothing special. The breakfast buffet was adequate.
