Excellent stay !! Many restaurants and bars near by. The room was very spacious and clean, though it was in need of a good dusting but it was clean where it counted. The air conditioner was excellent and the bathrooms were nice with modern updates. The staff was amazing and very helpful and we loved the snacks and drinks available in the common area. The parking situation was not great but we made it work. We would definitely stay here again.

We agreed we would stay here again. Jeff at the front desk was amazingly friendly we enjoyed chatting with him & we got recommendations from a born & raised local. The room was clean, not fans of the door-less glass shower panels. Glad we booked the King room with the private bathroom. (Just wished this room wasn't across from the shared bathroom)They give you optional ear plus but come the weekend we had noisy talking neighbors at 5am while sleeping, the walls are a bit thin.
