Friendly, Professional and Great Value
The hotel is in a good location in walking distance to downtown and the canal greenway. The people at reception were professional and friendly. Front desk employee Santana was both charming and helpful. The free breakfast offered plenty of options. There were also free cookies anytime.

6/10 Good

Felt nickeled and dimed!!!
I enjoyed staying but I didn’t have any hot water coming out the shower! The warm was at best warm but the water coming out of the sink was very hot!! They came and did something but it wasn’t up to my standard of hot like the sink. And why was I charged to park? That’s a turn off for me never coming back to this property. I canceled a room around the corner because of the cheaper rate but parking was free. I shouldn’t have to pay for parking while paying to stay at a hotel. Add the price of parking into the room rates!!!! This way I don’t feel like I’m being nickel and dimed to death!!! Room was nice tho!!

Good and bad
Check in was great! We had requested rooms on the inside as opposed to the busy street side and that's exactly what we got! However, our toilet stopped flushing in the middle of the night, had to get a plunger, use the bathroom on the 1st floor. Also, no hot water in the morning for a shower.

Housekeeper Is the Best!!
The check in process took about 15 minutes (there was a line since it was the Friday before Thanksgiving and location is near the college football stadium.) They were polite, punctual, and very through with explaining the amenities and how to get to our rooms. We came for the night for the Shaboozey/Ernest/Jelly Roll concert as a family of 6. Both our rooms were clean, well stocked, and comforting. The best part of the whole stay on the property was the house keeper!!! We were on the fourth floor and as soon as she saw us walking into our rooms, she greeted us, let us know her title, as well as extending the offer of help if we needed anything at all to let her know. She truly made the stay that much better just by making sure we knew she was there for whatever we may need. We made sure to leave her a wonderful tip and little note. We appreciate her, and the rest of the staff, for her wonderful hospitality and wish them the best with their futures! Will definitely recommend them and stay anytime we’re back in the area!

We enjoyed our stay. The hotel room was nice and clean. The front desk staff was professional and polite. The only con is the couch in the room was low to the floor and no foot stool was provided.

4/10 Fair

At 4 am to 8 am in morning the room phone started ringing Constantly. It was very Disturbing. I couldn't get any sleep, so I got up and leave. I call the front desk several times and each time they told me that the calls was not coming from the Front desk. And because this was something that happened at their hotel. And you pay for the Comfort they didn't suggest anything.

Special thanks to Keshia and Latonia!! They are true gems and made sure we had clean towels, sheets and toiletries. We spent several days whilst my son’s apartment was getting ready. Santana at the front desk was also kind and very helpful. Definitely will be my go to place when I’m back.

Columbia stop .
Hotel was clean. However, do not get a room with an even number as they face the main road. The noise from the cars all night long was ridiculous; and we even had a white noise machine. There was a hole in the ceiling of the shower. At check out, I wanted to address the issues but no one was at the front desk and I had to get on the road home.
