We stayed at the AC for a concert at heritage bank. The room was clean and the hotel was nice. Great walking distance from a bunch of restaurants, bars, and heritage bank even though it was February. My only complaint was lack of trash bins. There was only one trash bin in the bathroom and no trash bins in the halls or near the elevators. I hated feeling like we left a mess for the hotel staff but we tried our best to tidy up.

We have a river view room and definitely worth the extra money. And there are good dining options nearby. We brought our 21lb dog and was given a little welcome gift with collapsible water bowl and treats at check in. I brought fresh food for my dog and needed to keep the food cold but our original smart fridge did not work properly so they replaced our mini fridge with a different one and worked out realty well. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
