Good location but basic hotel
It was fine. The hotel is a bit dilapidated. We were on the ground floor and could hear the bathrooms on either side of us constantly. Every flush. Good location. Amenities are minimal.

Disappointing
Expected much more for the price - almost $300. Room was small, amenities were minimal and seemed to be cost+cutting. No amenities in lobby unlike other Hilton affiliates. Felt below a Holiday Inn Express (which it once was). Shower was weak and drain made clanking noise, and guests above stomped loudly.
Staff were nice and location good but we will not stay here again, even at lower cost.
