Clean, basic room. Ideal for a short weekend stay for us. Don't expect anything fancy but if you just need a bed close to the cafes etc it fits the bill. Just watch out for the inconsistent water temperature in the shower - constantly needs adjusting.

Ashanti was great and all the front desk staff were awesome. The nearby parking garage was a good value and not too far. Breakfast was great! Rooms were nice and comfy. Bathrooms were small but everything worked fine. We stayed here a few times and would stay again.
