We had a standard 2 queen size bedroom and it was a good size. Our stay was quiet and pleasant. I like the free continental breakfast and easy free parking unlike some hotels in downtown. Overall it was good besides the slow draining sink in the bathroom.

Our stay was great. Our room is spacious, and clean. The best part was we were given two rooms which the second room was a complimentary because the room that I reserved had a leak. Great experience!!
