Nice hotel and good location. No on-site parking but valet parking is available by paying a fee. Loved the breakfast! My room had a terrible noise (like running water) coming from the room next door. Even when I reported this and someone went to verify it, no additional actions were taken.

Excellent visit overall. The hotel was full and only had 2 elevators working, so it was always a wait for the elevator. Bed and shower were awesome! Walkable to Altria Theatre and downtown restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The bathroom has a tiny sink with no place to even put a toothbrush. There are not enough outlets conveniently placed for a hair dryer/flat iron. There isnt even a shelf in the bathroom, just the tiny sink. There was definitely room for a vanity, not sure why anyone would design a bathroom like this.
