The staff were accomodating and helpful - it was not their fault that the hotel is not located in a good shopping or sightseeing area.

This is a hotel in a great location, lots of shops within walking distance. Staff was very friendly. Hotel charges $9 a night for parking. This hotel could use some upgrading, especially the bedding.
