Heck yes, stay here!

check in was a breeze. Staff was friendly and professional. I was told about the shuttle service that we could use to get back and forth to a festival at Waterworks Park. Staff was amazing at coordinating pick up, drop off, etc. Chloe was amazing and super helpful with all of this. The shuttle driver was absolutely amazing as well. Highly recommend this hotel!
