Well, y

The lobby was fresh and clean. The room had 2 working USB ports and 4 broken ones. The room smelled stale. We turned on the air-conditionor which helped but didn't get rid of the smell. They have a homeless problem. I was happy to know the parking was underground. When the alarm sounded for the property next door, I went downstairs and voiced my concern. He told me they only have Chick-fil-A and a gym next door (lie). Then he went on to say they have an all night security. Is that another lie? My car was fine. I won't be back.

I stayed there for a week, it was absolutely wonderful! The staff is incredibly helpful they are always asking if you need something, if they can do something for you, they help with everything and that includes the cafeteria staff! Even the janitors helped, I needed some stuff but in the back of my vehicle a jazzy for my husband to sort of a electronic vehicle for him to get around after back surgery which he stayed in the hospital I stayed at the hotel. We checked out a day early, because the bed was too hard for him on his back but that has nothing to do with the hotel and their beds! Very clean, love the decor very updated! I only had one little gripe, and that is that there's not an ice maker on the bottom floor. We stayed in the wheelchair room which was perfectly accessible for my husband. And the breakfast is outstanding! They go above and beyond. The only thing I wish they had was more bananas or hard-boiled eggs when they run out I guess they run out because I asked and they didn't have anymore. But that's minor. I check in process was extremely fast and I absolutely adore the lady who checked me in I forget her name! That she is the best she has been there for the last three times I was there at the hotel I stayed three times now. But she has checked me in every time. The manager she's outstanding I love her personality.
