Great Stay!

Rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The blackout curtain was the best. Stayed here because I had several appointments and a surgery at Ft. Harrison. Staff was friendly, and the location was perfect.

We had noisy neighbors and the frront desk staff weren’t able to get them to turn their music down - horrible nights sleep and when I talked to the manager in the morning he was not very apologetic. Will never stay there again.

It was a very nice property. Most of the staff was exceptional. The green haired staff member, was just like the one in the movie. She was not at all helpful!! The others were so kind and willing to help. It was very clean. The breakfast was very nice, great selection, great staff. It was also nice to be able to get coffee all day. Very convient to stores and resturants. Would stay here again.
