Ok, likely wouldn't use this hotel chain in the future
Pros:

Proximity to downtown and on site parking

Cons:

The hotel in general was not very clean or well staffed. Stains on carpet and being, moldy smell in room, broken items in room, etc...staff walking away from the desk while there's a line and not acknowledging any of the customers waiting. Rust in the bottom of the pool...

Would not recommend to friends
Cons:

The front desk staff was at best neutral or in some cases indifferent. The breakfast server seemed hassled and unwelcoming. The food was only so-so. Its my fault, but the hotel was in a very awkward place for first-time tourists. We both thought the worn carpets and dark hall to room made the hotel seem past its prime. Parking pricey.

Pros:

The location was great and walking distance. The food breakfast & dinner inside the hotel was good choices. Free drink 🍸 was appreciated.

Cons:

The room they put me in faced a WALL no light or sun. Room was dark and dreary. At our request, they put us in a better room with lighting & view. The RUGS in the ENTIRE hotel needs to get replaced They are outdated!
