The hotel was clean. The staff was helpful. The room was spacious. The hotel history, it being the former county hospital, is interesting. The included hot breakfast buffet was good, but not great. The location near the hospital district, sports arenas, and the train station is convenient to those facilities. Although more than one person recommended I not use the train system as it is not safe.
