Very convenient location and way less expensive than most downtown hotels. Staff is soper friendly and helpful. Place is very clean. Definitely needs updating which it looks like they're in the process of doing. Hallway lighting needs to be brighter. Corridor from parking lot to elevator is dirty, stacked with empty liquor bottles, needs serious attention. Leaves a bad impression on what is a good hotel.
