Fanstaic hotel, great downtown location, close to all, right across the street from market square. Easy parking. The rooms are spacious ,clean and conformable
The staff is amazing, the hotel has a restaurant and bar, the food is very good.
Would definitely stay here again! The rooms were great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking wasn't overpriced. Great location made it easy to walk to a lot of places to eat and visit.
Location is great to market square. Clean room. Good size. Room service was good. Prices were reasonable. Not a fan of the train going by honking its horn though out the night
