"Nice hotel in a great location. Room was clean and staff was very welcoming and helpful. The A/C did not cool very well, there was not a coffee pot in the room, could hear a lot of street noise during the night and had to self park a couple blocks from hotel. At this price I would have thought they would have valet parking and a coffee pot, other than that it was very nice."
