Great hotel with inconvenient parking.
Comfortable, clean, and well located hotel with courteous staff. Bar is below average and parking garage situation is worse. Overall a good experience and would recommend with a disclaimer for the sketchy parking garage.

Don’t recommend the parking.
The hotel itself was clean and the staff was friendly. I did opt for the parking which was supposed to be $14/night taken from my security deposit. They give you a key card to use as you leave the parking lot. Day one it did not work, I was charged $9 to leave. I went in to the front desk and told them and they asked for my receipt and gave me a new card. The next day the card again did not work (said it was invalid) and I was charged $10. I went to the front desk and explained since this was a problem and the parking charge at the gate was cheaper than the hotel charged then just remove parking from my bill. They said no problem. Then when I checked out all of my deposit was returned minus $5. I’ve tried finding out what I was charged $5 for but no one is able to answer or return my call.

Nice property, great location, but horrible smell in my room for entire time there. Staff tried to remedy it, but it smelled like rotten trash and got worse at night for some reason. Property management needs to close down room and find out where the smell emanates from.

This is a very nice hotel. I really liked that you need a key card to get in the elevator and in the building after a certain time. The parking garage is run down, but we didn’t have any issues with our car. The room was very clean and very comfortable. The only thing that was annoying was the shower. The shower was difficult to work, and the shower curtain was too short so water got all over the floor.

The room was fine and the staff was friendly and helpful. Curiously, the bathroom sink water was warm and there was no way to get it cold.

The staff was wonderful and accommodating after a long hard day we had with moving our daughter into school. They upgraded our room so she could stay with us due to her apt. Not being ready. Added bonus of having the Soda City Market right around the corner. Would absolutely stay again!
