The hotel was nice. Clean and great breakfast. The area is a bit strange as there are several vacant or strange parking lots. We crossed sveral homeless people and food banks to get to the downtown. It did not feel unsafe at all though.

Good but not Wonderful

The hotel is very clean and the hotel staff are friendly and helpful, but the hotel itself is not that nice. The room was on the small side, some problems with the heat, toilet not working great. I would rate this hotel as Good, but definitely would not catagorize it as Wonderful, the rating given on the hotel.com site.
