Overall 10/10

Liked: I love staying here while I’m in town for the weekend. It’s so close to the Amtrak station and other downtown attractions. I rarely ever half to call an uber unless I’m going somewhere farther than a 25/30 minute walk. The service is always great and I love that they hold your luggage if you have train leaving later in the day, or get there earlier than checkin.

Exceptional

Liked: The staff working the front desk were friendly and helpful and seemed sincerely happy to be working there. Our room was spotless and I suspect had been recently remodeled. The location was a short walk from the train station.
