We checked in on Christmas Eve night, and Sam was at the front desk. Although he was short staffed due to employees wanting to be with their families at Christmas, he was so polite, friendly, attentive and went beyond what was expected on a normal day to be accommodating! He is to be commended! Very grateful for making our stay extraordinary! Besides that, the room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Excellent hot breakfast.

For the location and price, it wasn't bad. If you have a need to be on the south side of downtown, I would stay here. Decent price and reasonably clean with a good fitness room. The onsite parking is somewhat limited, and very tight if you have a truck

Clean, quiet, stay w very soft and comfortable bedding and pillows. Breakfast items had dwindled and were not refilled by the time we went to the breakfast area (9 am) so some choices were slim or empty. Extremely close/easy walking access to German Village, Book Loft, and Cento. Not a super great area but it borders on one and this property is definitely trying. Would stay again!

The room was nice. They seem to forget about things such as coffee pods, extra TP, etc. They do check to see if you need sheet changes but then don’t replenish everything. Other than that, the rooms are nice and quiet. Very walkable neighborhood.
