It was a crazy, busy weekend in town full of marathon runners and the front desk ladies were very friendly, calm and professional. The hotel lobby is beautiful and our room was very clean. Would definitely stay here again. I would say more, but gotta run! :)

Nice breakfast buffet; hotel lobby looks nice; building looking shabby in spots if you watch the details; room cleanliness was okay, tile floor in bathroom had dirty grout - carpet stained; luckily sheets and towels were clean! Pillows needed to be replaced. A little pricey for the state. Great location!
