Toby

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
A fairly charming and clean motel-type hotel, with a pleasant roof deck but no other amenities, in a section of town that’s a fairly long (25-30 minute) walk from most of the restaurants bars and other attractions downtown. I was surprised it was not a better price given it was further from the center than I’d expected, but perhaps that’s because I booked only a few weeks from the dates of my convention. Not bad nothing really wrong or unpleasant, but not my first choice next time.
