Lovely one night stay.

It’s central location, yet the loft unit was quiet, facing the parking lot of the adjacent hotel/inn. This hotel has a nice underground parking accessible from behind of the hotel however, do you need instructions at the service desk how to access the underground parking. The unit is clean and basic furniture. It was a lovely one-night stay.

The hotel has perfect location! Unfortunately my view was of another building and I felt like I was underground. Accidently booked a pet friendly room so I assume that’s why. The bed was comfy but if taking along a pet I would go elsewhere. Look forward to staying there again and see how normal rooms are because the location was awesome!
