Very nice stay.
The stay was very nice and comfortable. I liked that the hotel was downtown, but I was not very happy about the 35.00 dollars a day parking, 20.00 would have been a little more reasonable. The breakfast was delicious and very filling.

Would stay again
Only complaint was that the bar next door was loud until 2 am every night. Nothing the hotel could really do about it, just might want to change rooms if you are sensitive to sounds. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great location for walking to a football game.
