10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. My husband really enjoyed Gregory during the happy hour time. This hotel is an older hotel. However, the rooms are updated and nice. The bathroom is just on the smaller side. Two people cannot get ready at once but you can make do. The outside premises are very well taken care of and clean. There wasn't any litter in the parking deck area or outside the hotel. We were in town for a concert at the Enterprise Center. It is a bit of a jaunt to walk but doable."
