Close to Market Square and Gay Street. Have swimming pool, gym, onsite restaurant and indoor parking ($15) The only complaint is poor sound insulation of the room. Can hear noises from hallway and next door.

Pillows were like sleeping on a cloud!

Except for navigating our way out of the parking garage, the entire stay was WONDERFUL! Everything there was so clean and luxurious. The staff were all accommodating, knowledgeable and courteous. The bed was great, but the pillows were the most comfortable I've ever slept on!

We like the location of this property – it is close to the pedestrian zone downtown area, and close to interstates and major roads. The beds are comfortable, and the room has more storage than many other hotels.
