Its great location next to Old Town made walking through that area—with plenty of dining options—fun and convenient. It’s a very basic hotel, however, with average breakfast foods. Our room was fairly dark, and the mattresses felt old—the kind you sink into. The rubber on one arm of the rolling desk chair was partially missing.

I have to admit I expected a bit more as far as the room for the price we paid, almost $400 a night. We did not need an ADA room, but we wouldn't have cared....except the ADA room #141 is right next to a access door from the outside to room nubered in the lower 100's. It was very noisy all night with people entering and exiting through that door, which slams shut. Also the AC is quite loud and the room outdated. Even with the location being in Old Town, it was overpriced for the quality of the rooms. It reminded me more of a freeway offramp Super 8 unfortunately.

No regrets! Great place for families

I booked this hotel based off previous positive reviews, and I’m glad I did! 5min walk to old town, so many restaurants and shops, absolute vibe. My kids loved it, we didn’t get to try the pool! But definitely at our next stay here, complimentary breakfast was good! Coffee was delicious.! Staff was more than helpful, the rooms were clean! The beds were very comfortable, only thing is that they do not have free parking on the property. They have underground parking below the hotel and that is $30 a night. Which I don’t think is fair to charge PER night. Maybe a $30pass for your entire stay would be better. But that didn’t bother or affect us because we found front parking on the street. Luckily. But overall great stay! Great staff, great location, will definitely be back

We booked 3 nights. First 2 were great; no issues. 3rd day we needed to get a clean set of bath towels. Went down to the front desk and were told housekeeping would bring them to our room. No towels were delivered. In the morning, went down to front desk and was told they were out of clean towels. Are you kidding me?! Asked housekeeping person on our floor for towels and was again told they were out. Multi-million dollar operation and can't keep a sufficient supply of towels? I will definitely keep this experience in my memory bank for future consideration.

Dated Property in Need on Remodel

This is an older property in relatively good shape. It is need of a refresh or remodel, shows a lot of wear... Otherwise it was nice. Parking in underground and ceiling is low, check to see if your vehicle will fit. Normal cars and pickups have no problem.
