Great stay been there twice. Don’t understand all the taxes on the final bill annd it isn’t calculated on the bill when booking it and why to stay at a property that quit expensive you need to pay for parking. All in all a great place and well located

The room and hotel was beautiful and in the perfect location. The bed was a little uncomfortable and the bathroom door doesn't allow for privacy but other than that it was very nice.

Perfect location if you're going to see the Magnolia Market/The Silos. Walkable to restaurants and shopping. Very very clean! Staff was helpful and friendly. Parking garage was connected to hotel and very reasonably priced. beds were comfy, could use some firmer pillow options, but overall, very very pleased and would stay here again.
