This hotel is well located. Two blocks from the legislature assembly. Lots of free parking. I left my bike in the storage room for three days no problem. The restaurant is very good. I loved the chowder and the salmon burger. What I didn't like is that there's no elevator. The bathroom takes so much space from the room itself. No fridge
