This hotel is conveniently located to the river walk, with tons of dining and nightlife within easy distance, you wouldn't ever need a car. The property was modern, the service excellent, everybody friendly. Would recommend without hesitation.
The staff! I came in with a cut and they provided me with bandages and. First aid. Asked me through out the day if I was feeling better. And the Barista on Saturday morning made my caramel iced coffee to perfection!!!
Beautiful property and everyone was very friendly and helped with everything. It is the Southern Hospitality that is very special and made our stay exceptional in every way! Loved everything about our stay
