Clean, upscale w/free self parking
Very clean upscale hotel. Free self parking was a huge plus! Restsaurant was closed Sunday but we found other places only a 5 minute drive for dinner, also a nice, new Publix grocery store. Bar downstaits and another upstairs (its called a "rooftop" but its really a bar with a small outside balcony... but still cool! ) No balconies on rooms. Lsrge rooms with comfortable "fancy" chairs. Mini frig & coffee maker in rooms. Lots of overpriced alcohol & snacks in the room... really didn't appreciate that but someone might. Its located by a starbucks and a couple restaurants that you can walk to. Its near I-275 access. Would stay again!

Loved the Curb Appeal - Entrance Design, Chilled Water with Fruit in Lobby, Gorgeous Lobby and Indoor/Outdoor Dining Design, Ambience and Delicious Food! I had the King with Bayview - Beautiful room and view! Excellent and Friendly Staff!!! from Front Desk Reception to Dining to Housekeeping and Room Service!
I chose the Hotel because of consistent high reviews and aesthetics and both were on Point! I’m adding to the reviews with a 10/10!

Poor Service
I got here at 6pm to check in and was told they have my reservation but they were completely full and no rooms. Told they were short on cleaning staff but will eventually have a room. Had a room available 3 hours after check in. Had to go to the lobby bathroom to change and had to wait another hour for the room after a very long day of travel. Unacceptable.

Outstanding! It’s an all in one stop! Restaurant was top-notch after the restaurant you go to the roof for a rooftop bar overlooking the city. We had plans to
