The hotel rooms were spacious and well-equipped with a refrigerator and coffee facilities, and we all loved the comfortable beds. The elegant feel of the bright lobby was delightful, but it was not cleaned thoroughly from the prior tenant initially. However, the staff quickly resolved this by upgrading us to a suite at no extra cost, which was clean and even had a small balcony.

The hotel is situated well between downtown, Greenwood, and Monticello, which was convenient for our visits to those areas. However, being close to the intersection made it a bit challenging to navigate at times, especially for travelers without a car.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The room was spacious and had great amenities like a refrigerator and coffee maker, but the street noise could be bothersome at times. The elegant lobby was impressive with its cleanliness, but the ongoing renovations slightly affected the overall experience. The service was top-notch with friendly staff like Ida and Vickie at the front desk, yet the oversight of not restocking toiletries daily was a downside. The location was convenient for my needs, being close to shops, restaurants, and my workplace, but the traffic around the intersection could be tricky to navigate.
