We had a great stay. Our room was spacious and clean. Only issue was a dog barking early morning but that isn’t the hotels fault more on the guest with the dog. The breakfast was hot and plentiful in the morning. Staff was friendly and gave suggestions on where to grab something late night. The only issue we really had was parking. The lot was completely full and with construction Nextdoor you were limited where to park. But that’s because a bunch of soccer teams checked in. But they were quiet and respectful of the hours. We did park near an empty building which I wouldn’t suggest because when we went out in the morning someone’s car was on cinder blocks with all the wheels removed. The only other issue is the doors close very heavily to the rooms. It can be loud enough to startle you out of your sleep. At least on the 3rd floor they did can’t speak for the rest of them.

Compassionate staff and Super Clean!!

Personalized service from desk clerk (i think Mateesha) giving us directions to nearest Panera so I could have soup.....cause I now have a head cold on our vacation!
