We had a fantastic stay! The hotel’s lobby was beautiful, our room was sleek and comfortable and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. I’d highly recommend it and would certainly stay again in the future!

Clean room, friendly staff, so-so breakfast with very limited offerings. Very convenient to the airport, Gray’s Park, Blank Park Zoo, and easy access to downtown.
