WE have been there before and would go back.
Pros:

Nice hotel, very clean, staff was friendly. Great location.

Cons:

We were on the third floor and the floor above us was extremely noisy, not necessarily with people but with noise.
It was hard to figure out what it was, but it was at different times of the day and evening.
