"We love this hotel. Over 12 years, we've stayed here over a dozen times. It's a fun place with funky decor. Having a coffee bar on each floor is wonderful.2019-06-20"
"I've stayed at this hotel at least 15 times in the last 11 years, and it never fails to disappoint me. It's luxurious and never boring, and the staff is friendly. On our last visit, the bellman asked what the occasion was for our trip; we replied that we were celebrating our birthdays. A few minutes later, we received a bottle of wine. Be sure to visit the morning coffee bar in your bathrobe.2018-08-17"

"As always, this hotel is a delightful place to stay. It's close to everything, and there's a shuttle to most places inside the 610 loop. The employees were attentive and helpful. There's always something going on, so it can be a little noisy, but if you have a room away from the elevator, you'll miss most of the activity. There's a coffee bar on every floor.2016-04-19"

"Close to the medical center. The hotel room was clean and comfortable. It took us a minute to figure out the elevator, but a quick tutorial from another guest did the trick. Check-in and checkout were efficient and pleasant. We ate in the restaurant; it was convenient, and the food was good, and we enjoyed a drink at the bar. The server was friendly and remained calm when it was busy. I'd stay here again.2021-07-01"
"Great location. The hotel and employees were lovely. The heating and cooling systems in both our rooms roared and hummed with a resonating frequency that kept us awake. We turned off the AC and enjoyed the extraordinarily comfortable beds. Breakfast was fantastic.2021-05-10"

"The hotel was dog friendly, and the room was large, comfortable, and clean. The staff was accommodating and let us stay in the same room when we had to extend our stay. Good breakfast and easy parking. We used the shuttle to get to the hospital with no problem, but never got picked up because the driver couldn't find us, even though we gave him the address and stood out by the road waiting. Still, I highly recommend staying here.2019-07-28"
"Good location. Nice, clean hotel with decent rates. The room was clean, and the staff was super friendly. Our TV was stuck on one channel, but maintenance came right away and fixed it.

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
