Friendly staff, welcoming lobby decorated very nicely for Christmas, and clean comfortable rooms. Very close to many attractions ( Old Market area and Zoo), but far enough away.
Great hotel, well located near museums and the zoo.

Chlorine burn from the hot tub. Went in on Friday and Saturday am, but by Saturday afternoon it was out of service. Have rashes all over my body. Room was super clean and bed was comfy.
