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.
1.5 / 5.0
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.

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!

Nice clean hotel. The parking was in a public garage adjacent to the property which was a bit dicey. Not sure I’d feel safe parking my car there at night if I were alone.

The air conditioning leaked in the room which left a damp and dank smell, but other than that, the state was fine. And the staff was great.

Nice hotel, great location. Easy to walk to restaurants. Showers good, beds comfortable. Parking and check in parking was ok, just aggravating. They do not take Chime Bank cards to cover the incidentals fee. The told us that it is not considered a major bank card. Thank goodness we had another card but found this to be odd. We travel a lot and use hotels.com and no hotel has ever turned away our Chime to use for incidentals. So you can hold it on your Chime card, they take it off, then put it on the other card, then you can pay at checkout for the room with your Chime. Also, the incidentals might hold for 10 days. When you pinch penny's this was a little frustrating

I had a great experience with Johnel and Olivia. They were super helpful and friendly. My stay was comfortable and easy. The only thing I'd improve would be the parking situation. The lot while next door, was a bit of a challenge to access when checking out with all of my travel items.
