The room was cool and the hotel awesome. Great location, friendly staff. The only minor incident was at the restaurant where I was charged more than the double of what I consumed but it was inmediately rectified after I addressed it.

Property was great. Staff was great. Really enjoyed it. Wish there was a coffee maker in the room and wish they still provided robes. I guess people were stealing them, so they stopped. A shame folks ruined that for everyone. You can still request them though.

We stayed in the spring suite at this wonderful hotel. The staff is always amazing! The spring suite has a beautiful screened in porch on the upper floors. The hotel is so nestled into the trees and is right off the main drag of SOuth Congress Ave. Lots of shops,restaurants, music.

The location is nice if you want to be in the middle of South Congress and the noise. If you are on the first floor you can hear loud walking and talking upstairs and all around you. Not good for a couples getaway. More of a business trip or party atmosphere
