Nice hotel. Bar in the lobby. Great bartender. Sketchy government housing directly across the street. Seems like the hotel keeps a close eye on the parking lot however.

I’ve stayed here many times and each time has always been great! The service has always been top tier GT and this time was no exception. The rooms have always been clean and well accommodated. The location is ideal as it’s close to many eateries and the university. It’s my go to when in town.
