mixed feelings about the stay

dated room dingy atmosphere
the location was good. the shower was also very nice.
The room felt quite dated. it had a slightly dingy atmosphere, maybe because of the cream-colored walls and medium-dark wood furniture. a large window had a blind with a do not open sign.

The location is very close to the arts center. A large art museum sits only one block away from the hotel. (It's very convenient.)
The parking area in front of the building could be bigger.
