The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. My only complaint is the air freshener that is in the lobby. It smells really good but it was a little overpowering and I get migraines from since so that was a bit of a concern.

Great location. Nice place. Walkable. The parking garage elevator didn't work and the parking attendant really was driving cars through the garage like an Indy car race. Kind of dangerous.
