Check in and out staff were all great. Very friendly and upbeat. The room was nice with beautiful decor and comfortable bedding. All linens were clean and plush. In a great area with close food and short drive to uptown. Ample parking. Will stay here again. Such a nit-pick but I wish there was a space in the shower to put my own toiletries instead of the floor. Great hotel!
