We were very satisfied with our stay. The hotel shuttle was a great option to take our large group to and from nearby restaurants. Service was very good. Room was clean. The only reason I didn’t rate it high is the building showed a few sign of wear and tear. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

From the first, the lady at the front desk was smiling and very helpful. When we couldn’t work the heat, she left her desk immediately, coming to the room to help us. Best stay in every regard we’ve ever had. Thanks Again!

Hotel was clean and rooms were decent. Breakfast was typical hotel food, not bad though. They did have a shuttle that would take you and pick you up within 2miles, that was really nice if you were out in downtown.
