Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near downtown, South Congress, and the convention center, making it an excellent choice for those attending events in the area. The rooms are spacious and clean, equipped with full-size kitchenettes, but the lack of proper ventilation can lead to cooking odors from neighboring rooms seeping in. The service was efficient and caring overall, although staff could be more responsive to complaints without needing a manager. The dining options are limited to simple items like coffee and oatmeal packages but serve their purpose. The hotel's pricing may be considered slightly overpriced given the facilities provided.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, within walking distance of many attractions, but the rooms were not well-maintained as they had leftover items from previous guests. The service was professional, but a bit messy with snack leftovers. The dining included basic options but could have been better. The facilities were average.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was convenient for exploring the city and grabbing a bite to eat, but the room I was assigned was messy from the previous guest and had a strange smell lingering. On the bright side, the staff at the hotel were warm and caring, making my laundry needs a priority. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with inconsistent deliveries and subpar offerings.
