We stayed here while moving our daughter in for school at UA and it was perfect! Walking distance to the restaurants downtown, very close to campus as well. The rooms were clean, spacious and met our needs! The staff was beyond amazing, friendly, and very happy! Breakfast was great as well! Will definitely stay here again!

Nice location and overall a decent property. BUT our room was never cleaned. Despite having a nice conversation with the cleaning crew after we woke up and them saying your room is next.... A perk of staying in hotels is fresh towels and sheets each night. They failed at this basic expectation

Property and room was very clean. Staff was very nice and personable. A couple amenities were downside: the iron was damaged/broken, shampoo/conditioner too small--barely a single use for female hair--ask for more ahead of time or bring own.
