A Solid Stay Near the Heart of It All

central location double beds spacious bathroom coffee facilities

The location was GREAT! I needed a spot after checking out of my previous place with a late flight ahead. This hotel provided a perfect, affordable solution. I appreciated the two double beds and the spacious bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities were available, a plus.

The elevators were rather small. Maneuvering with luggage required some patience.

The hotel featured two small elevators. These elevators moved guests between floors efficiently. Guests can access various amenities. The elevators seemed well maintained, though compact was good.
