Can be hard to get to, even harder to get good parking close by. They do have a parking garage however it is across the street.

Great location near the waterfront district but a little tricky to get in and out. Not a lot of parking around the hotel but there is a parking garage next door that they validate. Check in is very fast and they are extremely nice and courteous. The housekeepers will wake you up early telling you to check out 3 hours before you have to but maybe they forgot to look at their watch. Pretty standard rooms with thin walls so you can hear and talk with your neighbors through the walls.

Great location and somewhat affordable, and the lobby is nice. However, the room wasn't very clean, and the hallway smelled like a old damp sock or locker room. They also charged me twice for my stay (I prepaid, and then I was charged again a few days after my stay). I'm still trying to get the 2nd charge refunded (called the location 5 times without a call-back, just reached out to the main corporate office to try to get it resolved).
Not recommended.
