This is not a hotel. It is a MOTEL. The outside hallways are in rough shape. It seems to be on the edge of downtown. You must utilize your room key to use the elevator. There are armed security on Friday night which made me somewhat comfortable but I wonder why there is a need. Breakfast was okay but not great. The cable stopped working on the first day and was never fixed. This hotel was not worth over $600 for 3 nights. Maybe $350. The room was clean and comfortable. The interaction with the staff was good.

It was nice. The room was smaller than we expected, but nice. The folks at the front desk are very nice. The doorman was very polite and helpful. The location is about an 8min. walk From Broadway. Right next to the state Capitol.

Room was clean and updated. Hotel has a unique layout, as it used to be a motel, I believe, and still has some of those characteristics. It was loud at night due to the concrete walkway right outside our door. Breakfast area has a nice setup with great variety. Parking fees are annoying, but they are everywhere in this part of town. I would stay here again, but my expectations were a bit too high, possibly.

I looked at pictures before booking and when I got there it wasn’t anything unexpected.. first off it like a motel style the rooms are entered from outside.. the room was clean but it was just ok my wife absolutely hated the bed it was uncomfortable. The breakfast was the same everyday.. stopped going after the second morning of my four night stay.. I have to say they have a great staff everyone was great! But i would overall never stay there again..

CUSTOMER BEWARE!! I am still trying to receive a refund for overcharged parking. I noticed an excessive charge on my credit card statement and for the last three weeks have made numerous phone calls to both the hotel and PMC parking with no results. I am getting the “run-around.” I have a feeling they do this to all customers, hoping they don’t notice the excessive charge.

I stayed in their newest building (Units ending 27 or higher, ex., I was in 428) and it was a really nice space, was clean and modern, bed was comfortable. The included breakfast on the 2nd floor was pretty similar to mid-tier hotel brands, I particularly enjoyed their bacon (not over or undercooked) and it was never close to running out of anything, the breakfast attendant was really on top of it. Front desk was kind during a very stressful time (Winter Storm Fern), valet was responsive. It was a really good experience and I would recommend it to others. Also super convenient to everything downtown, I had pizza at Roberta's a block away and BBQ at Puckett's two blocks away and they were both very good, easy walk to both.

Once I got over that this is a motel with some hotel amenities (valet, bar/restaurant), it was fine. The room looked new and was warm (stayed during ice storm). The staff was really great too. I didn’t love that any time a valet or housekeeping cart rolled by it sounded like a Sherman tank coming through the wall. But for the price it was fine.

the breakfast was not tasty and did not appear fresh. Watery eggs, old looking fruit. I also was mistaken for a vagrant on my way to check out and was told that I couldn't come into the lobby multiple times before the plain clothes hotel employee realized I was not the person they had issues with the previous night.
