This was a good hotel for the purpose of our stay. We attended a nearby concert, and most of the performers stayed at the same hotel! The room was clean and convenient free breakfast was adequate. The location was very convenient for this day.

I wish they could have made the room at least once. We spent 3 nights and the room wasn't cleaned during the entire stay.
