Fine place to stay
The hotel was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms have wood floors, which look nice, but we heard the people in the room above us walking throughout the night. It woke us up throughout the night and was much worse then other hotels where we have stayed.

Recently renovated
I've stayed at this property several times. There is plenty of parking and it's walking distance to everything in town. The lobby is dated, but the staff is lovely and the rooms have been recently renovated and are very stylish. Rooms are well equipped except for one item that I wish they'd consider adding - a coffee maker. There is nothing worse than having to dress and go to a lobby to get a cup a coffee first thing in the morning. It would make this property exceptional.
