The staff were so kind. We had a first floor suite and there is no noise insulation. The person above us woke up at 4:00 and was, it sounded like, stomping around for an hour…. Couldn’t sleep after that :/

Absolutely beautiful property. The staff was excellent—friendly efficient and accommodating. Rooms are very clean, updated and quiet. Location is adjacent to the BSU campus. There is a lot of traffic around that area, but roads and travel was very easy. We had the opportunity to see Tim McGraw (he was live at the BSU ExtraMile venue)—we walked to and from the concert. Really great time and we will be back to stay at the Residence Inn.
