Clean, upscale w/free self parking

Very clean upscale hotel. Free self parking was a huge plus! Restsaurant was closed Sunday but we found other places only a 5 minute drive for dinner, also a nice, new Publix grocery store. Bar downstaits and another upstairs (its called a "rooftop" but its really a bar with a small outside balcony... but still cool! ) No balconies on rooms. Lsrge rooms with comfortable "fancy" chairs. Mini frig & coffee maker in rooms. Lots of overpriced alcohol & snacks in the room... really didn't appreciate that but someone might. Its located by a starbucks and a couple restaurants that you can walk to. Its near I-275 access. Would stay again!
