It was clean, great location, free parking and the beds were so comfortable! The hotel opened 3 years ago and you can tell it’s a fairly new hotel. Everything looked brand new and clean.

I loved the location, as well as the easy check in process. Inside our room was a welcome letter, which was a great touch. I especially appreciated that the welcome letter had a list of things to do, especially local happy hour options! I did not have any local restaurants in mind when I arrived, but we quickly found out that there were two happy hour restaurants within walking distance.
