Fantastic in town location. Very easy walk to the main street in town. Surrounded by a lot of great places to eat. The favorite hotdog stand that you don’t wanna miss is right across the street. It was easy to walk to see the cathedral Easy to go to the Ferris wheel. If I went back, I would definitely stay in this hotel again. Associate that helped us at the counter for check-in and check out very nice and extremely helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

Front desk staff was really nice and helpful. Room was perfect for a 2-night hotel stay and very conveniently located! Just be careful if you have a rental car because one of the car garages they recommend do not allow you to leave for the airport prior to 7am and so we had to pay $225 for a cab to the airport and then pay more fees from our rental car company. The front desk staff should have told us. It was listed on the parking guidance sheet at the front, but we would of never thought about this and felt as if the front staff should have warned us. Outside of this, they were very friendly, helpful and very nice!!

The location was great! But the hotel and rooms were tired and need updating. The hallways have old and faded black and white carpeting and the rooms need redecorating. Beds were a little soft. The buffet breakfast.was sensational.
