Well maintained, excellent service
This hotel is on a thoroughfare of restaurants and bars that are lively at night, but our room on the second floor was perfectly quiet. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The service was excellent, we arrived at 11pm and check in was super fast!

Overnight stay for a friends 65th bday!
Nice hotel! The common area was very warm when we walked in, but learned that the AC was being worked on.
We were surprised to find the bar and surrounding areas didn’t open till 4 in many places.

I did not mind this hotel, I like the location,but I hated the bathroom door! the door is a sliding barn door and when someone comes in the hotel room door, even if the bathroom door is closed they can see the person inside doing their business, this happened on this trip and was very uncomfortable.
