Good simple hotel
Irwin is a great simple hotel for a quick overnight. No issues. Not fancy, not low end. Just a comfortable place within reasonable walking distance from downtown

Nice stay!
A great budget friendly hotel! They also price match, so a great way to get the room you want by going directly through them and again if it’s cheaper through say expedia, they will match it!
The customer service was awesome! It’s a very old hotel, so be mindful of that but very clean!
