Honestly, the check-in staff was not very pleasant at all. There was no smile, no pleasantries exchanged, nothing... It was a short young brunette. The gentleman with the glasses I saw the other days was very nice and welcoming. As for the room, the fan in the bathroom did not work so it was perpetually a little wet in there. Bed was comfy. Room was quiet enough. My son enjoyed the breakfast. Location is excellent for access to the Classic Center. Parking is a reasonable $10 per day. Lobby is LARGE with plenty of seating. Would stay again.

Everything was great from the front staff, housekeeping, and those that prepared breakfast. My only two minor complaints would be the small bathrooms in a king size room( felt like a cruise ship bathroom) and they need to update the furniture in the rooms! So yes definitely a solid four star!
