Acceptable but Not Excellent
central locationsmall roomfree parking
The location felt quite central, making it easy to get around (close to many attractions).
The room was smaller than I expected for the price. There was also no free parking near the hotel. I had to park several blocks away and carry my luggage. It was inconvenient.

the on-site bakery was a definite plus. i grabbed a bagel sandwich there, and it really hit the spot. the heated floors and towel racks were wonderful, especially coming in from the cold.
i wish i could have found caffeine-free tea in the restaurant.
