Pretty Good Option
Pros:

The beds were absolutely AMAZING!!! They were super comfy and clean. My family and I really slept very well!

There were always plenty of cookies, tea, coffee, and cold water in the lobby. After a long walk in the evenings, I stopped in to grab an oatmeal raisin cookie and a cup of tea.

Breakfast was included and always had something for everyone. Love the waffle maker area!!

Cons:

Room size was a bit too efficient. My grandson and I were both able to easily touch the ceiling. While sitting on the toilet, I could reach and turn on the shower which was on the other side of the bathroom! Plus-sized folk might struggle in this room unless they left the bathroom door wide open...

Nice weekend!
Pros:

Always like the location and breakfast.

Cons:

Beds have always been very comfortable- that one felt like it’s due to be replaced. Low in the center.

Knowing what I know, it is a decent place.
Pros:

The LOBBY was very up to date.
Unexpected to me, check in was a HC room. I requested a change and was politely accommodated.
I like the unique room/hallway design. A very inviting looking pool area.
Friendly staff, met three.

Cons:

Parking spaces are tight for larger vehicles. Care must be taken to find a spot nearest your room due to downtown location and hillside layout. Get out of the ramp upper level by 11am!
The pool was locked during posted open hours (not that I would have used it).
I'd like to emphasize; if you don't like stairs and are easily turned around - this is not the place to stay. It's a very serious maze, part of the charm, but a potential hinderance as well.
The tub drained slowly.
The refrigerator did not sit flat.
The inside of lamp shades is very fuzzy.
