1. I agree with previous raters in that the moulding needed work, the carpet needs to be taken out, the bed wasn't all that comfortable but honestly it was decent for the price (the bed that is, I've had worse beds in more expensive hotels).

9. Very handily placed for the city and a clean, comfortable family room with a well maintained bathroom and flat screen TVs (not a deal breaker but plenty more expensive places on our trip didn't have them).

10. The only negative thing that I'd have to say is that the menu was more upscale (did have less expensive options such as sandwiches and burgers too) but the environment didn't match the menu - the kitchen was visible and I heard 'order up' several times.
