The hotel is located in a quiet area but immediately off the Center, making it really close to everything. The rooms are spacious and come with some nice little amenities. The male manager was very friendly and accommodating, but unfortunately, another staff member was rather rude and ignorant when asked for help to extend our stay by one night due to the weather.
