I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were nicely updated with a great new shower but were disturbed by a noisy cycling sound all night. The service was charming and informative, though the 'old west' costumes seemed out of place. The location was convenient for transportation but felt disconnected from the surroundings. The dining was hit or miss with self-serve stale pastries but convenient balcony service. The facilities were decent overall.
