Good family trip

My family and I rented a loft room for the weekend. We saw a concert that was a 10 minute walk down the street from the hotel. The area around the hotel is beautiful. The hotel was modern and clean. The air conditioning worked great. We really had a great time!

Best Hotel Stay in a LONG time!

Our trip was AMAZING. We booked here because we had a vampire convention across the street, and it was so convenient with the sky walk connecting to the convention center. Our room was super clean and the beds were SO comfortable. The food at the restaurant downstairs was the best food I have EVER had at any hotel. We ate every meal there the entire weekend because we couldnt wait to try something else on the menu. I would absolutely stay here again if im in the area!

Bedding was a flat sheet with thin white cotton blanket, old lumpy pillow…very dated compared to other local hotels. Lounge chair was dusty where seat meets back. No ability to stream on the TV. Will not stay here again as there are many options within five minute walk.

Highly suggest

We had a very pleasant stay! The hotel was clean (a lot cleaner than some recent ones we stayed at) and everything was updated. The restaurant food was okay. Nothing extraordinary. Hotel is close to everything and in an area that isn’t very busy at all, so you’re not waiting in traffic all day. I would stay here again.
