    “Good location, within walking distance of downtown. Everything inside was super nice! Staff at the desk we're extremely welcoming and warm when I arrived. The room was great, it even had black out curtains so I could get some very good needed rest.”

    “I loved the interior design of the hotel, rooms, and restaurant. There was only one front desk person that met all my expectations. She really took a moment to listen then answer all my questions thoroughly. She worked the desk the 8am morning of 8/16/2026, white lady. Everyone else either rushed me through or had a horrible attitude, especially the black woman during the 8am morning of 8/15/2026. Awful. The valet people were very nice, very helpful. Answered questions, gave directions. And there is a woman name April that waitresses in the restaurant who is especially kind. The size of the suite was nice, but it was awkward with the bathroom sink being outside of the bathroom. I love that there is a refrigerator and microwave inside the room. The sleeping area was spacious. The facilities person showed up in no time when I needed him, and the housekeepers were very diligent. The food in the restaurant was plenteous, tasted great, and had a great presentation.”

  • Excellent value and quiet area to stay with family
