Great location by the Square so able to walk everywhere. Close to many eateries, a movie theatre, bus terminal and shopping areas. View was over the street but the hotel was quiet and modern. Large bedroom area and shower but a bit cramped in the bathroom area. Helpful staff. Had a huge breakfast there one morning.
