Easy check-in and check-out. Courteous and efficient staff. Newly renovated room was nice. Mattress was not great - both lumpy and firm in all the wrong ways.

Hotel is a pet friendly hotel and our room smelled of cat urine. Also they are remodeling the whole 3 floor. They put us on the second floor and they were heard banging and tapping. We ignored the banging and taping as we were well aware of the remodeling. Hotels.com warned us of the remodel. However, we did not need to set a wake up call as at 7:58AM they started working on the rooms above ours. My husband said that they heads up from Hotels.com stated that work was not to start until 10AM. Concerning that we just came down for a show, we would not seek out this location in the future.
