Staff was pleasant, didn't hear noise from other rooms (except someone's alarm clock), the food we ordered was delicious and all of the wait staff was nice. It was convenient that the on-site restaurant was open late. Our room had no smell (except for sometime in the middle of the night there was a strong laundry detergent smell). Everything was very clean.

I would for sure book again
The staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel was clean and wonderful. The restaurant and bar in the lobby were nice to have. The food was amazing. I suggest the fried chicken sandwich. Beer prices were high but I guess that comes with the territory.
