Weekend away
Long weekend getaway with my husband. The hotel had onsite parking. The parking is third party but very easy to use. Location is right off a main freeway so it’s really easy to get too. The hotel is maybe a tad outdated, but I think that is to be expected for a hotel in this price range and in an older downtown building. You cannot beat the price and location. Within a mile walk to all the places we wanted to go. The room was clean. The only complaint I would have is no refrigerator in the room. I know this is not something hotel always have but it seems they more often than not do. I would stay there again.

Over nighter
Overnight trip. Didn’t catch the name of the gentlemen who checked us in but he was very welcoming and helped me get my parking situated. He did notice my request to not be facing Ohio st. Not only did he accommodate my request but put us in an upgraded room. Room was very nice and bed was comfortable. It was a quick overnight trip but a good one. Love that the parking is right there too. Costs extra, but they all charge now.
