Cute hotel

The staff was super friendly. The breakfast was decent; we were there for 3 mornings and only 1 had bananas that were edible. The room wasn't sound proof, but not bad.

NON-REFUNDABLE

After ridiculous flight delays, and a last minute on-line booking, since we thought we would have to spend 4 hours in Chicago before immediately going back to the airport, our flight was diverted to Greensboro and we never went to Chicago. Regardless, the avid refused to refund my money, although we never checked in. It just sucks.
