Great location, in walking proximity of lots of stores and restaurants. The building itself isn't the newest however it was pretty well maintained and clean. You do have to pay $10/day for parking at a separate cost from the room. Jabree, who is a part of the hospitality staff was downstairs every morning I was there for breakfast. She was extremely attentive and professional. Making sure everyone had everything they needed and the food was constantly fresh and replenished.
