Great customer service started when I drove up at the valet. Check in was easy, and the location is perfect for downtown

It was clean and staff were nice and the security guards on shift made sure it was safe. Sadly the area did definitely have some weird folk around. I left around 8 am and some woman from across the street was just yelling. But that’s not the hotels fault. The hotel did a great job.
