My stay was excellent! The general manager, Patrick, was very polite and courteous as he assisted me with checkin and ensured I was familiar with how to navigate my stay. I felt safe. The room was comfy and clean, and I will stay there again when I am in town. The parking is very convenient for a city hotel.
The breakfast was amazing. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic. Nice room

Parking was well lit an convenient. Breakfast was nice with good coffee. One thing we did not care for is that the garage, elevator and all the way up to our floor smelled of weed. Someone had clearly been smoking in the garage and it went right into the elevator cab and up to the hotel with them. Very off putting and made us feel as if we were staying in a shady area. Additionally the tub faucet was leaking and would not shut off entirely, which could be heard dripping all night long.

The staff was very friendly. The hotel was clean and our room was excellent
Sheryl was super helpful. Hotel was located blocks from Browns Island which was nice. Breakfast was so so with most items out of stock with 40 minutes of services left. Great value would stay again

Solid stay. Bed was comfortable. Pillows weren’t too high.
I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy.
The egg omelette was fresh and fluffy.
The pork sausage was very tasty.
The coffee could have been stronger…but that’s a me thing. It was still good.
The staff was very pleasant.
