"The room was very clean and organized. I didn’t expect to pay for laundry as I haven’t at other hotels. Thankfully was able to find and exchange cash for quarters in order to use it. Our showers our second night were cold. I understand a number of people were likely using them but I’ve never had that happen in a hotel. Usually the heater is large enough."
"This was a great place to stay. The staff was very attentive and the property was very nicely decorated. Room was updated and very nice. Great location in downtown, easy to walk to restaurants and stores. Even with the restaurant below the room, there was zero noise in the room."
