Hotel is not close to anything, but we have a rental car, so we drive to anywhere we want to go. The free parking at the hotel was great, except you have to get out of the car to ring the bell so that the front desk can open the garage gate before you can drive in. We asked for a non-smoking room, but when we got in, we smell smoke and asked for another room. The exchange was no hassle. The clerk was very nice and apologetic. The room had a large flat screen HD TV, very sharp picture, except no English speaking channels - all Spanish and German programs. Hotel restaurant close very early, but the 24 hour restaurant one block down was great - good food, good price, cater to locals. We went there to eat at 11:30 PM after a long drive, and the place was packed with happy customers.
