This hotel was outstanding, not for its clean rooms and amenities (which were excellent in every respect) but for its friendly and helpful staff AND its complementary shuttle service. We were attending a wedding reception at the Seven Hills Ballroom and thanks to the shuttle service, did not have to worry, either about finding a taxi or driving, shall we say, slightly impaired.

Rooms are not as updated as pictures shown. Damage on the electrical outlets and air conditioner. The people in the room next door got into a screaming match at 1:30am but the staff was quick to get that taken care of. Staff was excellent but the facilities were not so much.

Room smelled bad. Bathroom lighting is subpar

Room was tired, could use updated with better lighting in the bathroom. It’s way too dark. Room smelled like someone smoked cigarettes in it, it was awful. Sound travels easily through the door from the hallway, house keeping in the morning was talking outside our door for awhile and it sounded like they were in our room talking we could hear them clearly. Parking was easy. Location is nice for downtown activities.

We had a room on the 3rd floor directly next to the elevator. We booked a Kin Accessible and instead received a double bed room with a very small window. A dirty room both in the room and in the bathroom. The shower curtain was missing (only the exterior shower curtain was present) and the room on the 3rd floor next to the elevator was the loud because you can hear the elevator running (it makes a loud bussing sound) all night.
