Pretty good place to stay

The room was clean, the employees were friendly, and the service was speedy and quality. the shower and toilet hardware were poor quality. Had difficulty with getting shower and toilet to function properly. Maintenance did the best they could with the cheap hardware.

Satya Venkata Ramayya, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quick 1night stay before next day airplane flight

Feel that the description of the hotel and property should say PAY parking OPTIONAL in basement garage. My daughter thought that pay parking was a little misleading and she read it as being paid parking included. The front desk was very helpful and the room was very clean and big. Close to 6th Street bars and some close restaurants. I question the Mexican restaurant close by though. Basement is somewhat creepy
