Great option, great location!
This was my second stay in the last six months and both visits were great! Very accommodating and helpful front desk. They are transparent about road noise, but I travel with ear plugs so no problem for me.

Good value, can be noisy
Hotel fine for our one night stay to visit our student. Can be very noisy if your room is on Huger street, especially weekend nights due to traffic. Bed very comfortable. Cleanliness okay, not great. Fitness center disappointing since both treadmills were out of order. Limited things to do. Everyone very friendly. Decent value for price

Friendly, Professional and Great Value
The hotel is in a good location in walking distance to downtown and the canal greenway. The people at reception were professional and friendly. Front desk employee Santana was both charming and helpful.
The free breakfast offered plenty of options. There were also free cookies anytime.
