Great front desk service. Parking, not so great for big vehicles and if I would have known, we would have taken a different car. Room was clean but the outlets need an upgrade (old and dirty).

Cleanliness is ok but housekeeping knocking on the door at 8 o’clock asking for cleaning time. There is no body lotion provided. Area around the hotel is great. It’s walkable to downtown, Main Street and city Hall.

Hotel and staff were wonderful . Spotless. Comfortable. However parking garage was extremely difficult to navigate. Spaces narrow, large posts made turning almost impossible. Not only hard to park, hard to turn vehicles to get out. Can’t imagine if i had a larger than normal vehicle. If they could access nearby lots would really help.
