(567 reviews) I had a last minute reservation and Jeff davis at the front desk was awesome and very helpful he was new and hadn't been fully trained on the check in procedures but went above and beyond to get it sorted out for me. I stayed a 2 other hotels this weekend and this one was by far the best and will be my hotel from now on! I don't eat breakfast but they did have a good selection and their coffee is great and available 24/7 in the lobby.
