Pros:

We really loved the feel of this hotel. Great People-Brittany at the Bar/restaurant was amazing, Staff was all very nive and accomodating especially when we needed a late check out for a Dr appt. They were even cleaning the elevator walls! Just a really great feel in the heart of GR. We had fun walking out the door and grabbing a scooter to go tour the city and the pool and hot tub were great as well. We will definitely be back

It was just okay but we won’t be back, especially for the price point.
Pros:

The staff was friendly.

Cons:

Paying $55 to park when you’re staying at the hotel is stupid and a rip off. The bathroom had no towel racks and one roll of toilet paper. The bed was not that comfortable. The food was okay but nothing memorable. The overall experience was disappointing.
