Very Good

We stayed here for a race weekend. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We got a family room and it was wonderful with 3 adults and 2 kids. Great decor and vibe. We would stay here again.
I arrived late (10pm) from working a tradeshow, the front desk provided great service, Valet handled my car, I was able to order food and sleep in a comfortable bed in a clean room.
You don’t clean the room or change the towels unless you ask. Unveileble

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The location was perfect for a trip to the Altria theater. The hotel was very welcoming, clean, and confortable.
We used the restaurant twice for convenience. The menu was rather limited, but food was good. Would like tea for a choice in-room, and coffee available in lobby.
