Conveniently located, walk to bars and restaurants. Hotel room was clean but a little tired looking. Basic amenities, a little noisy, good for a short stay. Breakfast was excellent, made to order. Parking was easy and with a direct acceess to hotel. Got a free parking as a VIP Expedia member which was great. Staff was super courteous and professional. Everything as expected, recommend for a short stay.
