I've been staying here once a year for like the past 15 years. It's changed hands a number of times, and right now it's about as good as it's been. Clean, quiet, and a great location close to lots of restaurants. Getting up to the garage requires going up a scary ramp, but that's a small issue for an otherwise fine place to stay.
