Beautiful property. Great rooms. Good breakfast in the dining room ($) Hallways could be cleaner. There was a pizza box outside our elevator for 2 days. Housekeeping never touched it.

We"ve stayed at this hotel for years. I just wish they had a incentive program for returning guest during UT football season. The rate goes up so so high we cant afford it on a retirement budget. We are taking our grandson to a game this weekend and cant afford to stay there. Makes me sad because I love the hotel and the staff is wonderful.
