We had a great stay. Recommend for large rooms, walkable and safe area, price, and free parking lots. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 stars is the room was very warm/stuffy and the fan worked but not air-I get it’s and older hotel but the thermostat was not secure and hanging on by a thread the tv was also hard to work it had to be turned in a certain position to power on. Those were not deal breakers to me and I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

Great location for walking to and visiting Frank Lloyd Wright properties. A few good restaurants in the area, particularly Cairo’s which is a gem. Room always had a strange odor to it. Luckily windows open which helped. Phil’s is great for drinks and munchies.
