The indoor pool gets high marks as a great way to wind down.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is slightly far from downtown nightlife on foot, so rideshares are a must. And while there’s breakfast, others wished for more on-site dining choices or a bar. Still, most agree it’s a great trade-off for the peaceful location and price.
