The property was very clean and modern. The gym was the best gym I’ve ever seen in a hotel, complete with free weights, countless machines, and plenty of cardio options. The staff were extremely helpful, especially Natalie who assisted us when we had to leave our stay early due to a family emergency. The hotel is very convenient to downtown and about 1/10 of a mile from Market Square. We will definitely stay again!!
