It was a good stay for the price and location for our concert. The restaurants near by were very nice. The room was very bare, but clean and good for a one night stay.

Nice place to spend the night after an event. Front desk staff very nice and helpful. Close enough to downtown to be accessible but far enough away to avoid most of the traffic.

Stay over
Check in was easy. Booked on line but when we got there the room was finished yet, so was offered another room on ground floor. Worked out great do to my husband just had eye surgery ( steps would have been an issue). Very friendly ,place was clean and very affordable. Definitely would stay here again.
