I recently stayed at this hotel, and I have to say that the location is pretty awesome, just about 10 minutes from both the shopping area and historic district. The rooms were spacious and clean, making my stay quite comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but I noticed some of them didn't always wear masks, which was a bit concerning. Overall, it’s decent value for money, although there were some minor issues.
