Nice stay

I was in town for my nieces Match Ceremony. The hotel is right downtown. Very convenient to the National Theater. Checking in was very quick and easy. It is odd that you must park your car on the street to check-in. The you must drive around the block, go under the hotel into the parking garage, to unload you car into the elevator. Then go to your room. A little scary for a woman traveling by herself and arriving later in the evening. But it all worked out fine. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was very friendly.

Very good for the price

The room was nice for the price. Does not have free parking, which I did not realize until I got there. We had a king size bed which was comfortable on one side but the other side seemed like it was going down hill. Overall good experience. We had a big room with 3 windows.
