Very comfortable, clean, and well-appointed room and very helpful and friendly staff. All-in-all, a great experience. Be sure to check on the cost of bringing your pets beforehand, though- it's a bit steeper than we've come to expect... Would definitely stay here again!

Pretty good hotel but high prices for football weekends

Pros: Free breakfast
We recently stayed here for a football weekend visit and it was way over-priced for that, but overall the hotel was a nice place to stay. The staff were pretty worthless at the frontdesk in that I waited for 5-10 minutes while one staff member "chatted" with some people in the hall while he watched me stand at the desk waiting to check in. When he finally walked over to help me after that long and I realized he was the frontdesk employee I was even more irritated. They also didn't have great information on cabs/airport travel, I ended up getting better information from the taxi service than from he frontdesk. Rooms were very spacious and clean, snacks in the lobby were nice addition and breakfast was great.
