The staff was wonderful and accommodating after a long hard day we had with moving our daughter into school. They upgraded our room so she could stay with us due to her apt. Not being ready. Added bonus of having the Soda City Market right around the corner. Would absolutely stay again!

Nice clean hotel. The parking was in a public garage adjacent to the property which was a bit dicey. Not sure I’d feel safe parking my car there at night if I were alone.
