I was worried about what I've read in other reviews, but it was all great. Location, cleaness, quietness, access to public transportation when needed, parking on spot. About location: by the river, 2 or 3 blocks from major stores downtown, but the area itself, for some reason, is desert - hard to find a soul in the streets, right in downtown. The hotel itself looks dated specially in the corridors but the room looked new, renovated, very spacious, with a fridge and coffee machine, free coffee and water all the time, free water and delicious cookies in the lobby. All the people in the reception and also in the rooms service were very nice and helpful when I needed. I sure recomend the hotel, if you want to stay downtown, it would be the perfect spot.
