Fantastic location if you're looking for the Plaza walkability. Everything is easily within 5-10 min walking distance. The rooms were pretty nice as well. Very comfortable bed. Room was exceptionally clean, and useful for what I needed, as I was house hunting. Would definitely recommend!

We requested a connecting/adjacent rooms for a family of 2 since we have a special child. The guy in the front desk gave us both keys but unfortunately the other room did not open. We requested the front desk to just ask their maintenance crew to change the battery of the room bolt and that we are willing to wait. He declined and gave us a room far from each other. However, they have clean rooms, and walkable tourist spots. Parking has a $10 fee overnight.
