Good location, nothing fancy
This is an older hotel, and though it has been renovated it still felt a bit dingy and dated. The location is great and the staff were very courteous. We unfortunately had some noisy patrons on our floor that woke us up at 3 am.

Good value
It was friendly and clean, breakfast was fine. Better than other recent hotels we’ve stayed in. The toilet was a little fussy and there was an icy area outside that needed salted better. I wish they wouldn’t charge $12/day for their own parking lot but could be worse.

Great basic hotel
Convenient, no frills stay in a great location right at the edge of German Village. Parking lot is next to the Sherman Williams next to the hotel. Well lit and did not have any issues with safety even when getting back to the hotel late (10 pm to 11 pm).
