Great location! Walking distance to many restaurants and shopping. Lobby was clean and beautiful. Room was clean and comfortable. Carpets were a bit run down and the elevator floor in one of the two elevators had food thrown all over it. We weee there for 2 full days and it never got cleaned up. The gentleman that checked us in was very rude but the rest of the staff was very kind and helpful.
