Beautiful hotel downtown. Our son got married at the courthouse and its' a one minute walk. We also got to experience the fair they were having downtown. That was about a 2 min walk to get to it. The only thing I would say is, if you are a light sleeper, you will hear EVERYTHING outside your room with any late-night people going down the hallway. Also the outside noises as well.
