The hotel is nice in the lobby and walkways. The room was descent. We didn't like how close the toilet was to the adjacent wall. The beds were hard in our opinions. Parking is $25 extra to be secure or locked in. There is street parking close by that we should have done instead. The hotel is walking distance to good restaurants. We at ate the Speights Ale House behind the hotel. It had great food/ drinks and atmosphere.
