Clean, comfortable and very convenient to Thompson's point, plenty of restaurants and things to do right nearby. We stayed in a room with a shared Hall. Was not inconvenient, room still has a sink which was a nice added benefit. Coffee and breakfast was included in the morning, parking lot in the back of the hotel was convenient. Will definitely stay again!
