"Hotel was in a great location. Many restaurants and stores around it. Currently they are updating some parts of the hotel. The front desk clerks were extremely nice both when we checked in and out. The room was very clean and tight at the top of the steps, so convenient too. Bed was super comfortable! I honestly wish I would’ve checked the mattress brand before we left because it was that good. Shower was amazing too. Almost too much water pressure if there is such a thing. Honestly our only gripes were the shower head was a little low. And there were those darn little pillows instead of normal sized one but that’s probably the chains request. Will definitely stay there again next trip."
