My favorite thing about this property was our room had personality. It was a white on white sterile room. The furniture was eclectic and comfortable there was color and personality, like you were staying with friends instead of in a hotel. The bathroom was roomy and had TWO lighted mirrors.

Nice Stay
Nice stay with helpful team of employees. Valet parking is expensive @ $55 but very fast and helpful. There is a city parking garage next door on 7th .. likely where they were parking my car so i could have saved some money had I noticed it earlier! Nice service, great location, and clean.
