Great property close to downtown area and restaurants. The boiler had an issue and our son took a scolding shower that was scary but management was very responsive and gracious about it. If we go back we would not stay anywhere else.

8.8/10 Excellent! (369 reviews)

The location is nice if you want to be in the middle of South Congress and the noise. If you are on the first floor you can hear loud walking and talking upstairs and all around you. Not good for a couples getaway. More of a business trip or party atmosphere
