The staff at the check in desk were so very helpful with arranging rooms closer together for my friend and I. They did it all with great humor. They answered all our questions about Uber, restaurants near the Civic Center, and helped me get signed into WiFi. The room was so spacious and clean and the bathroom was huge. One suggestion I have is to put grab bars in the shower, especially for those of us who aren’t as agile as we used to be.

Friendly, helpful service

The woman working at the desk was very friendly, professional, and helpful. We asked for some suggestions of good places to eat nearby, and she gave us information of places she knew well. We tried those and had very good food and good service as well, along with ease of getting to the place. Much appreciated!

Wonderful service!

My daughter and I drove 6 hours to see Hamilton and when we checked in, exhausted and ready to put our feet up. Jodi took excellent care of us. She was kind, patient and even upgraded our room. Just because. Everyone we encountered was fantastic and friendly, breakfast was delicious and would definitely come back!

Very close, convenient to event center. You can park and walk. There is however a fee for parking. Only downside was noise. We attended during a dance competition weekend. You could easily hear through the walls and kids running talking in the hallways.
