"Perfectly located to experience downtown, Old Town, and the Capital mall area. Easy on and off the freeway. Very convenient to the airport. Good parking deal. I have stayed here several times. It is not “the ritz” but it has worked perfectly for me every time. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. "
