The hotel was under renovations when we arrived so restaurant not open. Also the doors to each hotel room were very noisy and slammed each time open and closed. We were also keep up each night from other hotel guests screaming until 4am. Not a restful sleep. Very disappointing.

The property was convenient for our purposes and the room was very good. Downsides are the $18/day parking fee and the odoriferous parking lot stairwells.
