Room was really clean. Service was attentive if needed. The water pressure is crazy good in the shower. My room was a little small but I didn't need much so not a problem for me.

This hotel is conveniently located as a close drive to the airport and the Convention Center, where I attended a conference. Room is small but clean. Hotel is very quiet. Friendly staff. Did not seem to be near any convenience stores for snacks but they at least have drinks (possibly more) available for purchase at the front desk. I had thought about bringing my family along, but considering how small the room is, I'm glad I didn't. I would stay again for a solo trip, though.
