I would not recommend this...

Liked: The hotel was close to downtown.
Disliked: The second floor which my family and I were staying had a marijuana smell every time we came in the hallway. I suffer from asthma and thought we weee at a non smoking hotel. Even my children were asking about the smell because it was quite strong. I don’t understand after 6 days not one person from the staff says anything. The lady at the front desk didn’t even inquire about how everything was and I called several times the front office and no one answered the phone. I had to ask a maintenance employee from the staff to contact the front desk.
