This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. The staff were helpful, the restaurant was excellent, and the location was fabulous. Definitely staying here again.
The location was good, easily walkable to the main downtown streets for dinners etc. the room was clean and a normal hotel room. It’s a big hotel and did not seem like a crowded weekend so I was surprised that our room had a not so great view of the back gravel area. There is also a bit of a sewer smell in the lobby and the plumbing seems to be a little issue. Everything else was great.
Fanstaic hotel, great downtown location, close to all, right across the street from market square. Easy parking. The rooms are spacious ,clean and conformable
The staff is amazing, the hotel has a restaurant and bar, the food is very good.
