The rooms are very nice. We paid for an upgrade which wasn't worth it as we were looking at another exterior of the building, no view. Other wise the hotel was clean, bed is very comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We would like it if the bar stayed open later... 10 pm on a weekend is too early to close.
