I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and up to date with lovely views, and being walking distance from so many places was a huge bonus. However, I did find a sock under the A/C unit from the previous guests, which was a bit off-putting.

The hotel had a nice view overlooking the pool, but unfortunately, my room seemed to be above the dumpster, which was a downside. The new mattresses were great, though. The check-in was strict about the 4 pm time, even though I requested an earlier time due to arriving early.

Rooms
8.0
The rooms had a nice view over looking the pool. The new mattresses were great, though the location in the back left corner was a bit inconvenient. The check-in time was strictly enforced at 4 pm, even when I asked for an earlier time.
Service
7.0
The service left little room for parking as it took up more spaces, forcing me to park on the street. However, the staff, once engaged, were very friendly and helpful with any questions about the area.
Location
9.0
The location was ideal for accessing everything by walking, making it super convenient for downtown activities. It was close to all downtown shopping and attractions, even to the tree home. However, some areas were filthy and had unpleasant smells.
Dining
7.0
The dining options were lacking in reasonable choices, but the Italian grilled meat was so good and very satisfying. However, some dishes contained ingredients that caused allergic reactions for me.
Facilities
8.0
The pool was a great feature, well-maintained, and the staff there were all very nice and friendly. However, the cleanliness of some common areas was a letdown.
