The hotel is conveniently located near downtown, the Capitol, and Carroll College, offering easy access to various attractions. The rooms are reasonably priced but lack a proper work area, and security concerns may arise due to the high shelf and limited seating. The service is outstanding, particularly from the front counter gentleman, and guests can enjoy excellent amenities like housekeeping, laundry, and pet services. However, the presence of a nearby homeless shelter can be a drawback.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well-equipped with amenities like a microwave and a mini fridge, but the absence of a table or desk made it a bit inconvenient. The heat was not working properly, and the room layout was not ideal. The service was exceptional, with staff being extremely helpful and friendly. The location was convenient for me, being close to downtown restaurants and a historic pedestrian mall, although the presence of a nearby homeless shelter was a downside. The dining area was clean, and the breakfast included was satisfactory. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
