Excellent place among many: good value amid hotel row. Clean, comfortable, usual amenities. Having to download app (96mb!?) for room key is annoying bc I still had to go to desk to check in and out. Easy drive to all local sights.

The rooms were very large/spacious. The check in was easy. And the restaurant was across the parking lot. Really couldn't have asked for much more.

It was great to have so much room: full kitchen area, living area, bedroom, and large bathroom. Everything was so new, even though I think the hotel was a few years old. Our 4-day stay was great! I would stay again if I was in the area.

Nice hotel but Room Rates fluctuate a lot
A newly built hotel. Clean, spacious and comfortable. No elevator so it was a pain to carry suitcases up to second floor. Gave only 2 stars because we had to checkout a day early and pay for third day in spite of trying to modify reservation on Hotels.com before the two day cancellation policy and tried calling hotel directly to modify reservation. The room rate increased drastically so changing to two nights instead of three would result in a higher cost so we just paid for our original three night reservation. Don’t understand why we couldn’t just eliminate one day without canceling whole reservation and rebooking at higher rate. Not sure if this was Hotels.com or Independence Stay’s cancellation policy but manager was no help even though this was a “pay at property” not a prepaid reservation.

The room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. It was perfect for our sever night stay in the area. All our encounters with the staff were excellent. This is appears to be a relatively new property and was in exquisite shape. It was an excellent value for the area. It is located in the main retail area of the city witin a 5 to 10 minute drive (or closer) to most dining options. On the negative side, just be aware there is no elevator for this 2 story property and the grab and go breakfast options are very, very limited. I would recommend Roy's Pasteries on the riverfront downtown for some of the most delicious treats I've tasted. Overall, I would highly recommend this property. It was a great value and very restful stay in a beautiful area.
