This is a typical bare bones hotel that's a bit aged. However, they are in the process of renovating so things may change when that is done. The room was clean, the beds comfortable, and the staff friendly and accommodating. It's a 15-minute walk to Mortgage Matchup Center so staying here saved us a ton of money for parking and the hassle of getting out of the parking lot at the three events we attended there over the weekend. I would stay again.

This was the perfect location if you are attending the concert across the street at The Van Buren! Had a balcony overlooking the venue and next to the venue I was able to order pizza and fries from Ziggys! It had a microwave, fridge and blow drier! Would stay again.
