My work partner and I had a great check-in experience with Kate; she made the process quick and easy. She made sure I was part of the rewards program and provided a thorough explanation of all the hotel amenities. We also asked for local restaurant suggestions, and Kate, along with another employee named Dee, offered some excellent tips. Kate was very polite throughout the entire check-in. I stayed in a spacious Studio Suite with a King Bed and a kitchen. The only drawback was that the room (216) smelled like smoke. (This is why I gave it a four out of five rating) I initially considered switching rooms but decided to stay because of my long day of travel. The hotel offers a complimentary mid-week evening social (Monday-Wednesday) that includes draft beer, wine, and a full meal. We enjoyed a roast beef and potato bar one night, and sloppy joes another. The breakfast was equally good, featuring eggs, breakfast meats, pastries, hot oatmeal, waffles, and fruit. Dee and Doretha deserve special thanks for keeping everything well-stocked and taking care of guests' needs! The area around the hotel was quiet, safe, and pleasant. Following check-in, we went across the street to the Bullpen Bar for dinner on one of the nights, a place Kate recommended. We tried the wings on the first visit, which were great, and the pizza for a subsequent dinner—both were excellent. Overall, this is a great hotel, and I highly recommend it.
